That means the system is using a swapfile -- whose name is '.swap' and =
located in the root directory '/' -- rather than a swap =
partition.

Nope. You can call the file 'my_awesome_file_for_swapping' and put it in =
/var/cache, resulting in '/var/cache/my_awesome_file_for_swapping' instead =
of '/.swap'.
The dot, as usual, is to un-clutter the output of 'ls /' (unless you use =
the -a switch, of course)
Note: If you want to use your own file, don't forget to 'mkswap =
/path/to/file' *before* replacing the entry in fstab

Somewhere in the jungle of documents in Google's help system, Google =
explained that they index *only* based on letters, and strip out symbols. =
Except for symbols that became part of a trademark, e.g., =
'C#'.
