     This issue asks whether it's necessary to prohibit white space
     around the '.' in an hierarchical identifier.
     
     I think so, else one couldn't convert an hierarchical identifier
     into a flattened pseudohierarchical identifer simply by putting
     a backslash in front of it. For example,
     
              f( m.x , m.y ) ---> f( \m.x , \m.y )
     
     but not
     
              f( m . x , m . y ) ---> f( \m . x , \m . y )
