No.  Dots and dashes are not interchangable.  I missed that difference.

I was referring to "tsig.key." is the absolute form of "tsig.key"
but given "tsig.key" is relative to "." they become equal and thus
interchangable.

And no this sort of error is not checkable by named-checkconf as
the key could refer to a SIG(0) key.

Obfuscating makes everything suspect and makes it harder to spot
errors.  This is a classic example.
