No, its completely unrelated to that. Its a lexing problem, one .
could be a decimal point, or the first character of the concatenation
operator, and the lexer must choose one or the other, it can't
look-ahead.
Similar to c++ and it's problem with distinguishing whether a < is
being used for template definition, or a left-shift operator.
