The unit names with dots in them were a preparation for the .NET
namespaces, just as the 'unsafe code' "errors" and some other
things introduced in D7.

Regardless of whether this has any use or not:

None of the FPC developers currently has the time nor wish to support
any of the .NET enhancements, and that includes the dot in the unit
names.
