Working with special characters in a Mongo collection
I have a collection I'm unable to drop, I'm assuming that the "-" in its name is a special character. In MongoDB, what is the best way to escape special characters?

    > db.tweets.drop();
    true

BUT

    > db.tweets-old.drop();
    ReferenceError: old is not defined (shell):1

I've tried to escape with quotes (both single and double) and a slash, but nothing works.
