[issue24371] configparser hate dot in option like eth2.6

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I'm guessing python3 would also handle unicode identifiers, but I haven't checked.  That said, there's no reason configparser couldn't handle any key that doesn't have a '#', ';', ':' or '=' in it, in theory.  Whether we *want* to do that or not is a different question, and would lead to the question of what the correct normalization would be for keys.
