Ha!  No. :-)  But they do have better syntax-creep 
resistance.

I was thinking along the lines of Debian's rules for how 
binary package (.deb) files are named.[1] The underscore 
becomes a field separator, and in some contexts the dash '-' 
becomes a micro-separator.

But maybe that example doesn't apply so well.  But it's a 
similar battle:  trying to avoid naming collisions.

Glad I could help!

[1] I'm not picking on Debian.  I think all distros
     have some kind of scheme like this.
