[BioC] Bioconductor, naming of functions

[Markus Schmidberger]

Hello

I was reading the guidelines at the bioconductor developer page. But how 
about naming functions?
There is a part for "variable names" and the hint for using namespaces. 
In several packages I found functions of the kind: "just.rma"
Is using the "dot" in a function name permitted and has the "dot" any 
meaning?

Thanks
Markus
