Overview

This filter appears to rename fields by replacing ‘.` characters with a different separator. In reality, it’s a somewhat expensive filter that has to copy the source field contents to a new destination field (whose name no longer contains dots), and then remove the corresponding source field.

It should only be used if no other options are available.
