Then I did well chosing this list! Please also note that you could
take that anonymous function out of the method and name it, and the
behaviour would be the same. So maybe this case should issue an error
too.

That's a pity. IMHO, it should be some mechanism for that, but dots
are special in inscrutable ways.

Anyway, for anyone insterested, I found a workaround:
