As the originator of the suggestion, I thought I ought to wrap up this
discussion.

Interestingly, people were divided over whether the idea was desirable
in the first place. My suggestion was prompted by a desire for

1) Better implementation hiding. You shouldn't care whether foo is a
   public data member or a function.

2) Neater code. Empty().parentheses().are().often().unwanted().litter() .

Thanks to everybody who pointed out that a.foo, where foo is a member
function, already has a meaning (address of foo). Most people
(including me now) agree that this would be too great a change to make
to C++/C, so unless someone can spot a neat way of adding this I guess
we should drop the subject from the group.
