We can't. The problem is that:
foo .bar
has to mean:
foo($_.bar)
So the only way to allow whitespace in dot operations is to put it
after the dot.

I believe Larry's latest updates to Synopses allow for some syntactic
categories to be disabled in certain context, and to allow priorities
between categories. So would this make sense? --
- C<.bar> can be successfully parsed as both method call (postfixish
something?) and term
- when postfix is disallowed, such as at the beginning of an
expression or after a paren, C<.bar> is a term and means C<$_.bar>
- otherwise, it's a method call, and to get C<foo ($_.bar)> you have
to at least say C<foo (.bar)> -- requiring this actually seems more
readable to me.
