"An implicit member expression is an abbreviated way to access a member of a

inference can determine the implied type. It has the following form:
     .member name

For example:

     var x = MyEnumeration.SomeValue
     x = .AnotherValue

I see, so it is using the type of the lvalue to guide the symbol resolution of 
the rvalue.

Andrei had proposed something like this a few years ago, but I talked him out of 
it :-)

(I felt it would play havoc with overload resolution.)
