Shorthand for a method call.

During evaluation of a function call, the runtime checks whether the callee is a (met-name n) form. If so, the call is converted into a call-met function call.

(.name ob arg0 arg1)

; ...is equivalent to...

((met-name name) ob arg0 arg1)

; ...is equivalent to...

(call-met 'name ob arg0 arg1)

(met-name x) is usually abbreviated as .x.
