This is not the point. I think no of us do not know how to show that
files.

There are two reasons not to use hidden files in /usr, /var, /dev and
other:
1. It generates false positives (as mention before). And to many false
   positives only ends in overlook the real bad files and directories.

2. There is absolutely no reason to hide think in this directories. If a
   programming method use dot files to make there classes and methods
   private -- no problem. But is it necessary to put them in common
   paths? I think this is more a misuse. Finished programs should be
   compiled in some way.
