Um, the only possible concerns I could have had were regarding public exposure
of this API. If it's marked as internal, it's an implementation detail.
Whether or not the dot is included in internal-use-only constant strings isn't
something I'm going to waste a lot of time thinking about. ;)
So now, not only do I really, really not care whether this goes in, I have no
qualms about it either.
Having users like Shai who are willing to recompile and regenerate to take
advantage of experimental features is a big boon, as it allows us to test
drive features before declaring them stable. Designing optimal APIs without
usability testing is difficult to impossible.

> IndexFileNames is useful for applications that extend Lucene, an in
> particular those who extend Directory or IndexWriter. It provides useful
> constants and methods to query whether a certain file is a core Lucene file
> or not. In addition, IndexFileNames should be used by Lucene's code to
> generate segment file names, or query whether a certain file matches a
> certain extension.
> I'll post the patch shortly.
