Log:
* S12: Remove self-contractictory paragraph about indirect
object notation -- because the colon is needed regardless
of whether there are arguments after it -- and also
clarify that a fallback to sub call is _always_ performed,
not only for method calls with no arguments.

-Indirect object notation now requires a colon after the invocant if

+If the method was not found, it will fall back to a subroutine call
