Because in theory you should get code insight when you type
Identified(dot). From a style perspective I also tend to avoid underscores
in my own identifiers. I reserve underscores for methods you normally
shouldn't call (_AddRef), or for imported C code (MAX_PATH, type_).

Also, I am sure you know dotted unit namespaces are an addition to Free
Pascal. They are familiar to C#/Java people, and probably look better
(style-wise) to them. If they see dotted unit namespaces in some Free
Pascal demos they might be more be tempted to give Free Pascal a look
rather than running away (especially if the first thing they see when
looking at a Free Pascal example is a list of large identifiers with 2 or
more underscores each).
