After letting this bake awhile, I still haven't thought of a better
idea. Also, even if we wanted to invest the effort to make "$1.f1"
an integrated construct, I think you could still easily break it,
say with syntax like "($1).f1". The variant "(arg).f1" would be
problematic too without this change.

Hence, pushed as-is.
