I don't think you can get what you want with the current code.
The best you can do is (prin1-to-string '(foo.bar "baz")) and then
do a search-and-replace of the "\\.". But note that the "." is escaped
this way in order to avoid ambiguity with the "." used to separate the
car from the cdr of a cons cell, so you should not unescape every single
"\\.", only the ones where the reader recognizes the "." has being part
of the symbol.
Stefan
