- foo.bar # foo().bar -- postfix prevents args
+    foo.bar            # foo().bar     -- illegal postfix, must use foo().bar
     foo .bar           # foo($_.bar)   -- no postfix starts with whitespace

I don't think it makes much sense to start the comments with an
alternate form for the expressions now denoted as illegal -- "here's
some other syntax which this used to be the same as but it no longer is"
probably only confuses the casual reader.

On a side note, does that apply only to expressions that start with an identifier, or does that mean that:

   $socket.accept.getlines

will have to be:

   $socket.accept().getlines

?
