Users may be inclined to use hyphens in state variable names as this is
customary for device tree nodes. Such variables can't be read with
$state.example-variable or written with state.example-variable=,
because it's incompatible with Hush. Adjust the documentation to nudge
users into the correct direction (${state.example-variabe} and setenv)
