@ -137,6 +137,14 @@ to supply any type of first argument for procedures:
Another way to look at the method call syntax is that it provides the missing
postfix notation.
The method call syntax conflicts with explicit generic instantiations:
``p[T](x)`` cannot be written as ``x.p[T]`` because ``x.p[T]`` is always
parsed as ``(x.p)[T]``.
**Future directions**: ``p[.T.]`` might be introduced as an alternative syntax
to pass explict types to a generic and then ``x.p[.T.]`` can be parsed as
``x.(p[.T.])``.
