Default Dot in function names Dutch Excel

Hi,

I've always, ever since Excel 4.0, wondered how (and why!) but never dared
to ask ...

Some Dutch Excel worksheet functions have a dot in their name (VERT.ZOEKEN -
VLOOKUP).
The Analysis Toolpak functions are loaded with dots (COUP.DAGEN.DB -
COUPDAYBS).

First question:
How can I, for myself, program a function with a dotted name? Not that I'm
glad to do so but I'd like to program look-a-likes for some of these
functions.

Second:
Why ever did MS allow this type of function name?
(Could the programmer, as a reward, please be send to Guantanamo Bay for
ever?)

Mvg, Frans
