And this means the parser has to figure out whether you mean dot for attribute access or dot for concatenation. That's not exactly a _hard_ problem, but it's not _trivial_.
If you say it mis not hard for the parser, ok - but it seems impossible for humans:
upper = " World" print ("Hello". upper)
That's attribute access. The suggestion was to use it in place of implicit string concatenation, which occurs only between string _literals_: print ("Hello" . " World") and is currently illegal ("SyntaxError: invalid syntax").
