In general, brackets for indexes/chunking, parens for functions.
However, with the castlib keyword, it's a bit screwy, so other
references get screwy as well:
put castLib("Internal")
-- (castLib 1)
put castLib[1] -- you'd expect this to work
-- <Void>
put castLib(1) -- this works
-- (castLib 1)
put member(1) -- so does this
-- (member 1 of castLib 1)
put castLib(1).member(1) -- look right, but boom!
-- throws a script error: "Handler not found in object"
put castLib(1).member[1] -- brackets, and index into member
-- (member 1 of castLib 1)
put _movie.castLib[1] -- with the _movie reference, works with []
-- (castLib 1)
put _movie.castLib[1].member[1] -- here, too.
-- (member 1 of castLib 1)
