Indeed. If you experiment in the browser console:

var obj = {};
undefined
obj
Object {  }
obj["1.2.3"] = 'ok';
"ok"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok" }
obj['allez"na'] = 'ok';
"ok"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok" }
obj['not\nice']="beeeh"
"beeeh"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok", not
ice: "beeeh" }
obj['not\ nice']="beeeh"
"beeeh"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok", not
ice: "beeeh", not nice: "beeeh" }

Not so nice at all...
