I thought that the following in my auto-mode-alist, would match all
filenames that begin with a dot:

	("^\\." . fundamental-mode)

It doesn't seem to match anything.  Bug?  Suggestions?  This is 
GnuEmacs 18.51.5.

Also, would anyone care to provide a regexp that will only match filenames
which DO NOT contain a dot.

Thanks in advance.

I never met a file I couldn't (normal-mode).
