Would this be possible without breaking the grammar?

bool isPalindrome = getRange().(r => equal(r, retro(r)));

Yes.

I find this way of writing that expression more natural and efficient
than the alternatives:

auto r = getRange();
bool isPalindrome = equal(r, retro(r));

or

bool isPalindrome = (r => equal(r, retro(r)))(getRange());

bool isPalindrome = getRange().ap!(r => equal(r, retro(r)));

where

auto ap(alias a,T...)(T b)=>a(b);
