I'm assuming these two sentences are independent, as I can't see why
changing the syntax solves the problem (well, I can, but only in the
sense of having method and field references look very different, which
seems daft).

As discussed in a previous thread, John, Josh and I will steer you
strongly towards infix. The current prototype has got it right.

I'd also note that Foo#bar(...) is acceptable to me, although it feels
somewhat pointless.
