Comment (by knarf):
Wolfgang's option sounds also reasonable to me, although is would be an even more drastic change. We could think about providing this as an option if someone cares enough to implement it.
The only reply on the mailing lists was from Erik himself, preferring ".". Roland's argument against that is that it might be confusing for tools that split the "variable name" part from the filename, but then I would think that these tools could easily be changed to expect one (1) dot within that variable name as well. I personally don't really care whether it is "--", ".." or ".". So, if nobody objects within the next two weeks I suggest to change it to ".".
