Why is that a bogus reason? If you use the register_globals way of
accessing the variables, there's no way to access a variable with a dot
in it. If youy access it via a superglobal, you explicitly give the name
as a string ($_POST['variable . rest']), but is used as a variable it reads:
$variable . rest
which is converted to
$variable . 'rest'
As the section after the dot is a bare string. So there is no way to
read $_POST['variable . rest'] as a normal (auto-registered)variable.
