Just to clarify this particular one:  We have debated the '.' syntax for 
years on the Fortran Standardization committee.  The long and short of 
it is that it will introduce ambiguities while parsing that are 
impossible to "repair", i.e., the compiler is forced to simply abandon 
parsing if it "guesses wrong".
