gnomAD v3.1 VCFs have many fields containing "-" ("AC-non_neuro-nfe-XX", etc). Someone pointed out that those are invalid in VCF v4.3. Item 8 of section 1.6.1 of the specification says:
VCFs created by
hl.export_vcf
are marked as v4.2. However, it may still be useful to warn about these fields as it seems some tools expect the v4.3 pattern (samtools/bcftools#1335).
