Sorry, I disagree strongly. Lining things up is an important aspect to

I still want to talk about it. Good arguments (about trailing dot being
hard to spot, and about underscores) are made, and I think healthy
discussion can lead to a much better solution than the current long dot.
People who think it wastes their time, by now know what this thread is
about, and can choose to ignore it.
