Using periods in sub and function names?

[CharlieJV]

To me, periods are visual cues that I'm dealing with a variable that is of a compound type.

If I were working with a program with sub/function names that had periods in them, I would be immediately annoyed by the "semantic-meaning-overloading" of the period mark.

BTW:  If you like to use period marks in your identifier names, then you should use period marks in your identifier names.

As if I'm going to turn my nose up when presented with a gift of sample code ...
