Agreed, this is Ruud's call ... my motto has always been "In Ruud We Trust" (really) ... there is a disrepency here - and how it plays-out is ultimately up to him.
But (my two cents) I would imagine that if Ruud was to ever OO-fy Kixtart ... he would probably want to reserve the period for OO purposes. Plus, he seems to have a bent toward keeping the syntax compatible with industry standards ... is the "period" an allowable character in other languages ? A quick test reveals that VBS does not allow this. I can't ever recall seeing anyone post or want to use, $variables that had periods in them.
My vote, keep compatible with other langauges and drop support of periods in varnames AND funcs ! Reserve periods for the future ... if there is no OO future for Kixtart ... then keep them in ... makes no diff then.
