				Well, the problem is that the dot operator is not really an operator in the classical sense between two expressions (it has an expression on the left and an identifier/selector on the right). It is on the same precedence level as the indexing notation and the decoding operation, all of them are left-associative to each other.<br />
(This can be seen in the BNF in the rule for ExtendedFieldReference)<br />
<br />
a.b[x].d=&gt;e.f == ((((a.b)[x]).d)=&gt;e).f<br />
<br />
So, I would propose to introduce a sort of meta-line as 2nd highest precedence in the precedence table where all these postfix-notations are listed (selection, indexing, decoding)<br />
