Is Dutch a language that requires or frequently uses exclamation marks for imperative sentences?

I wonder about the exclamation mark.
It's not wrong, but perhaps in an out-of-context example sentence, a period might be better.

It's common for the Dutch infinitival imperative to have an exclamation mark. I changed the English one to a period.
