No, that's not what I meant. I meant that in Lisp when I want to write (n - 1) I actually write (- n 1); thus, when I see progn-1, I don't read it as "prog (n minus 1)", but instead as "progn dash 1". Given the convention that foo-1 usually means "internal function used in the implementation of foo", I read it as "internal function used to implement progn".
