Can we define properties as:
property name => identifier { separator identifier } *
separator => "." | "-".
identifier => [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*
In English:
"property name" is a sequence of "identifiers" separated by "separator"s
"separator" is a dot
"identifier" starts with a latin letter or an underscore and contains only
letters, digits underscores or dashes.
This may affect people using property names with non-latin characters.
