[EXPERIMENT] postfix dereference syntax

[p5pRT]

Migrated from rt.perl.org#120162 (status was 'resolved')

Searchable as RT120162$

From @rjbs

Commit 4fa0b80 to perl5.git merged in the postderef branch, allowing Perl
5.20.0 to experimentally support​:

  $x->[y]{z}->$*->w->@​*

...instead of...

  @​{ ${ $x->[y]{z} }->w }

Acceptance criteria for this feature in a future perl release are, at a
minimum​:

  * no horrible known bugs
  * no major known inequalities between the two forms

There was a *minor* known inequality, now fixed in c349280.

In any case, this ticket can be resolved.
