Don't get too discouraged.  Though I am agnostic on your proposal, I 
find the : and . syntax to be a huge source of errors and confusion, 
both because . works as : in most other languages, and because the . and 
the : resemble one another in both function and appearance leading to 
cognitive confusion.

I think at the very least the syntax should be changed from a : to 
another symbol (-> ?) to make the distinction clearer.  Until that 
happens, I share your desire to find a way to make the . operator work 
as the : does.
