<pre>With ipset it was possible to use : in set names, nft does not allow ":" in
names and does not accept quoted_strings as set names.
On the other hand {addr,time,dec,hex}string and ip6addr_rfc2732 are accepted as
set name.
So you can have a set named ::1, but you can't have a set named
"blocked:host:ip" and "blocked:host:ip6".
In case : is not acceptable in set names for syntax reasons, I'd be fine with
using quoted strings for non-alphanumeric set names.
Seems like this issue applies to everything using identifier (STRING as
acceptable type), including tables chains sets flowtables objects.
