Session name with dot inside won't load

[tony]

If a session is already open, loading a session name with a dot in between will detect the session as already running and offer to attach it.

❯ tmuxp -v
tmuxp 0.9.3
❯ tmux -V
tmux 2.1

originally I thought it was due to fnmatch(3)'s period grabbing, its more of an issue with tmux itself.

tmux treats periods in sessions as invalid:

❯ tmux new-session -s moo.moo
bad session name: moo.moo

It's interesting point. I guess it's possible to handle troubles with tmux invocations at libtmux level and raise more meaningful exception.
