TBH, we should have never allowed to have dotted port names in the first place. It already caused problems with e.g. ".core"-suffixed ports that had to be renamed or something like that in the past. I think it's quite clear that using dot in names is asking for trouble (and such names look plain ugly), but people just can't refrain from using dot. :-( Maybe it is some kind of mental disorder similar to incomprehensible predilection some people exhibit to Comic Sans font. ./danfe
