This is to spec, no?  Also, did it used to do something different without
the newline?  It seems to consistently look for sub foo even without it.

S12 says this:

In case of ambiguity between indirect object notation and dot form,
the nearest thing wins:

    dothis $obj.dothat: 1,2,3

means

    dothis ($obj.dothat(1,2,3))

and you must say

    dothis ($obj.dothat): 1,2,3

or

    $obj.dothat.dothis: 1,2,3

if you mean the other thing.
