Is a dot notation for calling functions under consideration for future releases? I.e., in addition to function(a, b, c) you could use an alternative: a.function(b, c). This can be more readable sometimes, e.g. in fluent interfaces like dom.select("a").first().attr("href"). Of course, there are reasons against this feature, e.g. two ways to call a function would make the code less regular. Was this discusssed in the mailing list before, I didn't find anything?
