Jeff, >>> If you want ... the period ... you need to escape it
Seems like remember that inside a character class (and only inside a character class) the period is treated only as a period and not as a meta-chaarcter. The argument was that it makes no sense to include a any-character meta-symbol in a character class whose whole purpose in life is to specify something _less_ that all possible characters.
