With respect to qualified names or "arg.function", then unless the "function"
can be symbolic, I considered your examples to be the "appear by themselves",
hence "." by itself wouldn't be a new operator, and I generally assumed here
that any multi-character operators with "." to be symbolic.
In any event, I also saw Tom's reply about DOT_DOT being a token already.
