It's actually not that trivial because the same code for parsing an
"identifier" is used in a lot of places. It's not possible to just
add "." to the set of identifier characters, because we don't want
$this.that to parse as ${this.that}, among other things.

would be ideal if true namerefs were working before namespaces were.
