So how is this interpreted? Such syntactic ambiguity isn't nice.
Should we go with the hyper interpretation, and say use:
[foo].[1,2,3,4,5]
For the other way. Wait... but that's no good! That's an infinite
lookahead situation (is our parser one that cares?):
[$foo.baz.bar.assuming(a => 1, b => 2, d => 4)]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
term? operator? i don't know. keep on parsing Oh! Operator!
I think this ambiguity is prevalent enough to sit with the coder,
considering other cases. How are we going to deal with this?
