alias name with "dot" is not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. /alias sandeep.thakkar (any name with "." in it)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
->I see the error "That alias contains invalid characters"

Please provide any additional information below.
->My default name was sandeep.thakkar. Then I aliased it to sandy and then I 
wanted the default name back, but it did not accept the 'dot' in between. I 
think, if the 'dot' in the name is not acceptable, then how come it supports it 
when the name was default? Pls support the 'dot' in the name.
