And it would break the common pattern of doing things like:
string.compare(otherString, options: [.caseInsensitive, .numeric])
Leading dot can only mean one thing; if it means "static member on the type of
Self", it cannot mean "static member on the inferred type of the expression".
Now, what might be nice is if you could say `Self.someCase` or `Type.someCase`
to access a static member without retyping the type name. Alas, we are not so
lucky as that.
