The situation is symmetrical: under the GNU rules, a library name
may not contain a hyphen followed by a digit, whereas under the R5.95
rules, a library name may not contain a dot followed by a digit.

So we should look to current practice in the archive community,
which strongly favors the GNU rules. Entia non sunt multiplicanda
praeter necessitam.
