From a tangential discussion at RT #57656.
IMCC currently allows the following syntax forms:

```
foo. bar()
foo .bar()
```

Notice the whitespace before and after the dot in the method call. These should be disallowed: No whitespace should be allowed before or after the dot in the method call. This helps to differentiate it from the dot as a concatenation operator.
