Is there a technical reason that one should prefer the (.method object) syntax over the (. object method) variant or is it purely a style that the community has converged on? I ask because I found that every time I wanted to change my code from (.method1 object) to (.. object method1 method2) it would have been easier if the code were (. object method1) moving to (.. object method1 method2) and, after a while, I started consistently using the form you've indicated is sub-optimal.
