Lest the above be construed as a tacit approval on my part... ;)

I tend to agree. There are expressibility problems, too. For example, if you
have an object that uses . for its API and [] for some other data, then what do
you do when you want to dynamically compute an API name? I would hope not
eval("obj." + computeName())
But I don't see any obvious ways out of this that aren't pretty convoluted.
