  • all pvnames should have "." replaced with "_" in ShapesData.hh::Name to avoid confusion with hierarchy delimiter.  This should be done by the step-scan software and epicsArch. PvaDetector  We should not abort, but epics scans need to support "." but xtc naming does not.  PvaDetector doesn't need it because it already has to provide an xtc-compatible name, I believe.
  • at xtc-level enforce use of python-compatible characters plus ":" (for epics step-scans which have no alias) and "." for attribute hierarchies.  If we support ":" for epics scans, might as well support it for epicsArch as well.
