Vertical lines of dots can be done with \bar":", but \bar"." produces a single 
centered dot...

If you guys can come up with an example of a single centered dot used as bar 
line, I would propose renaming \bar "." to \bar "dot" (and adding a conversion 
rue), but otherwise I'm all for scrapping it completely.

Cheers,
