I don't care about this kind of consistency.  The "." prefix doesn't make
much sense here: it's only useful to hide "administrative" files among other
non-adminitrative files.  E.g. in config files in ~ or for ~/.cvsignore.
If the user looks inside ~/.emacs.d he probably doesn't want to ignore the
emacs config file and the history file.  Otherwise, there won't be
anything left.  So if anything needs fixing it's the ~/.emacs.d/.emacs.
