TBH, we should have never allowed to have dotted port names in the first
place.  It already caused problems with e.g. ".core"-suffixed ports that
had to be renamed or something like that in the past.  I think it's quite
clear that using dot in names is asking for trouble (and such names look
plain ugly), but people just can't refrain from using dot. :-(  Maybe it
is some kind of mental disorder similar to incomprehensible predilection
some people exhibit to Comic Sans font.
