Hi,
well, yes. Imagine
foo,Template.vm
and
foo.Template.vm
In the first example it is clear, that the "," is used to separate
elements of the template hierarchy (remember that this is used to find
the matching class that backs the Template for a screen, layout or
navigation!) and the "." is part of the actual template name. In the
second example, the meaning of the "." is muddled.
If you propose a change, then it would be using "," for Actions, too.
Regards
Henning
