Question: What is the semantics of the following:

        a?.b.c

Is it the same thing as
        
        (a?.b).c 
        (a && a.b).c

or the same thing as:

        a && a.b.c

(For the sake of the argument, just ignore the distinction between "falsy" and 
"null/undefined".)
If it is the second option, I fear that the semantics of the so-called 
"existential operator" is more complicated than just an "operator".
