I like the general idea, but the syntax looks like dirt on my monitor. The period is too easy to lose visually and without it, there's nothing to distinguish this from a function call. Also, like Anthony Baxter said, someone coming across this for the first time will think it's a syntax error, allusions to MATLAB and assembly indirection syntax not withstanding.
Ignoring the syntax, I'm -1 on the 2-argument form, especially since it can only be used in an expression context; getattr() can be kept around for this. I'm +0 on the idea, -1 on the means.
