Could we use '***' instead of '.', maybe? That would be attention grabbing. >Even though this has to be compatible with the current versions of >setup, I'd still like to add some magic to setup to support something >like this (e.g., auto-expand any category that starts with a ".", or >reorder columns in category view so that the package name comes first).
