You mean Y! They are using '.' for separator currently?

The only dots we use are for namespaces and that's only in our sandbox so no
worries there. My concern was that we'd have to ask users to upgrade their code
in order to start using namespaces.
So we'll have an internal delimiter '.' and an external one for external tools
such as cli, rest(?), etc. But for the java apis we won't recognize an FQTN
string in the public apis?

I thought you had trick to make '.' work?
{quote}
Yes, I do. [~enis] pointed out that we will have to live with that trick in
later versions. Just making sure you guys are ok with that. Have a look at it
on github, just look at TableName.java that should help you get the gist of it.
