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.

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