I remember reading about variable names containing dots (i.e. tax.amount).
Some sort of namespace of variables.
$ declare tax.amount=0
-bash: declare: `tax.amount=0': not a valid identifier
I can't find any link to it anymore. I could be wrong. But is this allowed in
some manner? I like the idea of grouping logically related variables by
namespace. Not sure how or where I'll use it, but seems like an interesting
methodology.
Thanks
Eric
