It is conceivable as a parser extension, like 3/4 is nowadays generally
read as '(3 . 4).  One would turn aa.bb.cc (no spaces!) to #'(aa bb cc)
in the lexer.  It would likely be somewhat tricky to make sure that one
does not get surprises in lyrics and so on.

Since aa is rendered as a _string_, it might be more consistent to just
read aa.bb.cc as one string and leave splitting to the music function.

I have not found a choice that would really be convincingly consistent,
so I have not done anything of the sort yet.
