Although oddly enough you *can* write
a[. . .]
I guess whoever added the ellipsis couldn't be bothered
defining a new token for it.
It's something of an arbitrary choice, but to me it just
seems that the dot and bracket *should* be separare
tokens, perhaps because I would be thinking of the
[x] as a special kind of argument to the dot operator,
rather than there being a funny new operator called ".[".
