This PR adds support for function chaining using the dot operator (see #6717).
For example:
Strings
Lists
The way it works is that whenever a function is called using the dot syntax, the left-side becomes the first parameter of the function. For example,
str.lower()
is equivalent tolower(str)
. This allows more convenient chaining of multiple functions without having to deeply nest function calls.
