* S02: fix the three places where the old form:

$x. (...)
- &foo .($arg1, $arg2);
+ &foo. ($arg1, $arg2);
What is the reason for this change? I find the
old definition of whitespace before the dot much
more pleasing. The trailing dot looks somewhat lost
and does not link to the arglist visually while
the preceding dot in .() made it look like a
method that binds leftwards. Same asthetics apply
to postfix ops where
$x .++;
looks better to my eyes than
$x. ++;
Does the same apply for method calls?
$x. foo;
I've always seen the method dot as a kind of pseudo
sigil. A metapher that doesn't work with whitespace
between dot and identifier.
