Methods are really postfix operators, so that would probably be
something more like:
macro postfix:.= ($lhs, $parsetree)
is parsed(/<ws>? <?method_name> <?method_args>/) {
That's presuming we allow whitespace after the . and .= ops.
(Also, these days you have to say <?foo> to collect the results into $0.)
