newbies dumb Q - will the switch impact extant user files?
I don't think so. If you look at what \bar "."produces, ie.
\version "2.11.65"
\relative c' { c4 \bar"." c4}
(image is attached) then you'll see that such a "barline" doesn't make
much
sense at all.
I vaguely remember seeing such a dot used to separate the two parts of a
bar in compound time, much like the common dotted or dashed barline, but
I can't find an example. Can anyone else?
If I understand what you're referring to, then I pretty sure Bartok uses
this in the first movement of Music for Strings, Percussion, and
Celeste. My scores are at the office so I can't confirm right but I'm
almost certain he uses vertical lines of dots to show metrical grouping
in a compound-meter bar.

It's possible I'm thinking of the identical symbol used to indicate
pointing in
psalms, but \bar "." can't be used for that in LilyPond - the dot is
placed in
the associated staff rather than the Lyrics.
