Maybe there a nice way? some concerns:
- I'm a bit bit confused how the chaining/suffix-list thing actually works in the grammar, what rule allows for the chaining?
- Does the new rules allow for some syntax that we don't want?

We should probably also support slice syntax? .a.[1:2]. Looking at the grammar the slice stuff has lots of rules. Wondering if there is some nice way to add optional dot without duplicating all the rules?

This one:
Exp '|' Exp {
$$ = block_join($1, $3);
} |
and:
Exp:
FuncDef Exp %prec FUNCDEF {
$$ = block_bind_referenced($1, $2, OP_IS_CALL_PSEUDO);
} |
... /* elided */
Term {
$$ = $1;
}

@nicowilliams Sorry i should have marked this PR as draft as i think we probably want to support extra dot with all the different slice variants? also probably good with some basic tests for it. Then also thinking if there is some nicer way to write the rules that don't need as much duplication?

We can always add that later.
