likewise, should these be parsed the same?$a**2i $a**2.i and if so, how to we rationalize a class of postfix operators that*look* like ordinary method calls but don't parse the same.
This is a conceptual problem that .blahh is visually nailed down on the top precedence by the dot whereas it actually comes in as additional information about i. There's the same problem with foo 1 + 3; # (foo 1) + 3 or foo (1 + 3) which can only be decided by information about foo.
