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.
