Consider this already-valid code: var first = array .0.toString(); This parses *right now* as var first = array; (0.0).toString(); So your proposal would break existing code. We could imagine inserting a [no LineTerminator here] inside MemberExpression to permit "." NumericLiteral and "." "-" NumericLiteral to appear here, to be sure. But that's extra complexity, extra ASI-handling (having worked on ASI handling recently, I assure you there's *nothing* simple about it, and further complicating ASI is a strong demerit in my book), all for IMO dubious value.
