            Bug ID: 1284
           Summary: nft doesn't accept interface names starting with a
                    number
           Product: nftables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: nft
          Assignee: pablo at netfilter.org
          Reporter: ville.skytta at iki.fi

...at least in iifname, oifname. Not a problem otherwise for the system to have
interface names starting with a number that I can see. For example:

# ip link show dev 5af3c3f0
14: 5af3c3f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc [...]

# nft add rule inet filter forward iifname 5af3c3f0 jump meh
Error: syntax error, unexpected jump
add rule inet filter forward iifname 5af3c3f0 jump meh
                                              ^^^^

This is with nft from Debian Stretch backports' 0.9.0-1~bpo9+1.
