LaTeX does. The general rule it uses is that a period followed by a space marks the end of a sentence. To mark an intra-sentence period, a backslash is used between the period and the space.

In economic equilibrium, the world-wide energy cost to mine one block would be approximately equal to the revenue from mining the block (transactions fees + newly generated bitcoins).

The only legitimate use is setting it to another number that you own. It would be relatively easy for telecoms to allow this but block all other falsification of caller ID.
