Comment (by rhaas):

 Using "." can be confusing for tools that need to split of a "variable"
 name from the filename and have to rely on the variable name being the
 first "." separated piece. "-" (or realy "--") used to be what VisIt does.
 If would not like "+" since it is unusual (see GNU arch and its odd
 filenames
 http://web.archive.org/web/20070808210711/www.gnuarch.org/gnuarchwiki/FunkyFileNames),
 "_" might be nice but then again it makes it no longer possibly to
 separate group name from variable name since "_" is valid in Cactus
 variable names.
