Was this approved? Christian?
I'm packaging Login.app, a graphical login prompt. The name of
the binary is Login.app, dot and all. Does this pollute
namespace? The .app part is going to be troublesome, because it
looks like a couple of upstream authors think it's cool to have
program names ending in .app, like NeXTStep... hmmmfff! Since
Ian's proposal said "not matching [^a-z0-9] login-app isn't valid
either...
