Or change the definition so that something that looks like a method
call IS a method call, and that you have to put something else in
between (like parens) to avoid it.
So
.bar; # $_.bar
foo.bar; # foo.bar
foo .bar; # foo.bar
foo().bar; # foo.bar
foo(.bar); # foo($_.bar)
foo ~.bar; # foo(~$_.bar)
foo *.bar; # foo(*.bar)
That makes the parsing entirely predictible.
