The problem with using '.' here is that it is already taken for the
'end-of-expression' token. So the grammar becomes inconsistent if you use
it for this purpose. You would have to pick some other signifier. You would
have, e.g., Map#{id} be valid syntax meaning the value that is under 'id'
(I think, the grammar might have trouble here as well).
