Hi Tim,

I doubt there's any technical reason why you couldn't do so, but given
that hyphens are used in every third default REBOL word, your scripts
will end up a mish-mash of both styles, won't they?

Also, hyphens are easier to notice than a period in some fonts, so
they're less likely to be mistaken for a space.

As to typing them, well I'm a lousy typist anyway so it doesn't make
a lot of difference to me either way. (;  And I hit comers instead of
periods quite often as it is...
