I never use the . as an "and" operator, because it's the one thing in CFEngine 
which isn't consistent; sometimes it's used to specify scope, and other times 
it's used as a boolean.  I'd personally *really* like to see the ability to 
turn on a compatability option in the agent control body which switches the 
period in class names from a boolean operator over to a scope specifier.
