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/FunkyF...), "_" 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.
