I’m not sure what I’d expect a raw `:` operator to do, but whatever it is I’d
expect it to have a lower priority than `.`, making your statement equal to
let x = (foo.bar) : (dbar.baz) : (dbaz.zee)
Member access (`.`) is a *very* high precedence operator in every language I
can think of, and I think it would be quite confusing to slip something in
above it.
