--@ Fixed  by:  SSD   Thu Jun 2 16:56:51 EDT 1994 
--@ Tested by:  none 
--@ Summary:    Not a bug. 


Some problems with dots and infix operators which are somtimes
prefix (like -, +):

1)

print( - . 5 )()

results in syntax error in A#.
This must be a bug.
For instance:

4 + - . 5
should return
-1


2)

f.4.5
is not the same as
f. 4 . 5
since the former is f applied to a float.
(these have to be documented, or the dot application to be
refined somehow).

I do not know how B# handles these cases.
