Well, in pygtk, typecodes are just treated as strings. In the cases where
I want to use dots in type names, I doubt that other languages would be
involved. Allowing dots would mean I could use more meaningful type
names, rather than having to mangle them.

Well, neither `+' or `-' are valid characters as part of an identifier in
C or python. Is it really worth going for lowest common denominator for
this?
