Why is dot special? Fortran uses % (if I remember properly) IDE's can complete after a % as well as after a dot.

- int_19h 6y agoDot is not special. Putting the receiver objects first is special, because it allows the IDE to only show verbs (methods) that pertain to that object. If you put the verb first, code completion lacks context, so it would necessarily have to show you all verbs that can apply to any object that could conceivably be acted on in that scope.
