Note that the https://github.com/huggingface/datasets-server/ explicitly relies on the fact that a split cannot contain a hyphen. cc @lhoestq 

We can't enable this that easily unfortunately because it could make arrow file names ambiguous in the cache.

e.g. dataset_name-train-0000-of-0008.arrow

Oh, this would indeed make the caching for the multi-proc case ambiguous. Implementing this is only worth it if we get more requests, so I'm closing this PR for now.
