  Recent studies have shown that concepts of effective field theory such as
naturalness can be profitably applied to relativistic mean-field models of
nuclei. Here the analysis by Friar, Madland, and Lynn of naturalness in a
relativistic point-coupling model is extended. Fits to experimental nuclear
data support naive dimensional analysis as a useful principle and imply a
mean-field expansion analogous to that found for mean-field meson models.
