True. Semantically, it's the same. But fields are (at least in our context) usually denoted with a dot and changing that would also be confusing. Well, the confusing thing for me is actually that "foo bar" is a prefix notation of function foo applied to bar, whereas I consider bar.fieldname somewhat like applying the "function" fieldname to the variable bar instead of seeing this as a function bar applied to the constant "fieldname. So bar.fieldname looks to me like a postfix notation (although as you show with "foo bar fieldname" it actually is the more like the other view of applying bar to the constant "fieldname".) Anyway, no matter what we agree on, step by step writing down some programming guidelines is good. And I support that (even though we do not have many programmers where proper guidelines would be more vital for the project.
