Proposal: Dot as Postfix Function Apply

[Harry .]

When you consider that every other programming language in common use (and almost every language not in common use as well) allows you to write:

print person.name

while Haskell requires something like:

print (person & name) or

print $ person.^name

and even that after importing a third-party library or defining it yourself, you begin to understand why beginners think that Haskell looks more like Japanese emoticons than programming.
