If a has a method 'foo' such that
$a.foo
is the standard invocation, it would be nice when $b = 'foo' for
$a.foo === $a."$b" === $a.$b
How I see the . operator working in this case is as something like
$a.foo === &{$a{foo}}
Hence that would logically follow that
&{$a{foo}} === $a.foo === &{$a{"$b"}} === $a."$b" === $a.$b === &{$a{$b}}
and this case
>>> a.b;
is either an error, or something very scary.
