At the risk of discussing the bicycle shed, what about using the scope resolution operator? That, at least, would not be misconstrued by a copyeditor and would be in keeping with C++ syntax.
IMO it's very important to distinguish those things that are supposed to have meaning in code from those that are not. Using strongly C++-like syntax here would be confusing, since these things are not identifiers.
Should that be rejected soundly, here's my vote on the period:
Never: -1 Always Except Before Library: 0 Always: 1
