LOL! Ya know what? I had implemented this *exact
same* tranform back when I was writing a 4GL compiler
at work.
This one's easy though:
ident '('[METHOD_CALL] expr => expr '.' ident
'('[METHOD_CALL]
Especially since parens are not use for array
subscripts, like they were in the 4GL. :-P
I'll see if I can get ANTLR to do it directly in the
meta-language (elegant) or I can always manually
manipulate the AST in a semantic action.
