Bear in mind that the initial syntax was underscores. The dots were
introduced later in order to make the implementation simpler and more
robust. So from an implementation standpoint, I'd prefer to only
support dots. From a usability standpoint, I'd like to use
underscores. So, since I live on both sides of that divide:

+. 5 Dots
+ .5 Underscores
