yes, but with another separator it's worst (i know, it's not a real argument)

with dots: (not obvious if it refers a package or a module)
  org.objectweb.asm,

with dash:
  org-objectweb-asm,

with underscores:
  org_objectweb_asm,

with tilda:
  org~objectweb~asm

with star: (this will cause trouble in shells)
  org*objectweb*asm

with colon:
  org:objectweb:asm

with double colons:
  org::objectweb::asm

with bang:
  org!objectweb!asm

any other idea ?

cheers,
Rémi
