 Use some variant of

-    foo.
+    foo\
     .method

 if you mean the postfix method call.
 <at>  <at>  -1606,7 +1606,7  <at>  <at> 

     foo.bar		# foo().bar	-- postfix prevents args
     foo .bar		# foo($_.bar)	-- no postfix starts with whitespace
-    foo. .bar		# foo().bar	-- long dot, so postfix
+    foo\ .bar		# foo().bar	-- long dot, so postfix
     foo++		# foo()++	-- postfix

 <at>  <at>  -939,8 +939,9  <at>  <at> 
 is the variable name, including any sigil.  The package object can
 be derived from a type name by use of the C<::> postfix operator:

-    MyType. .::. .{'$foo'}
-    MyType::<$foo>              # same thing
+    MyType::<$foo>
+    MyType.::.{'$foo'}          # same thing with dots
+    MyType\ .::\ .{'$foo'}      # same thing with long dots

 (Directly subscripting the type with either square brackets or curlies
 is reserved for various generic type-theoretic operations.  In most other
 <at>  <at>  -1677,9 +1678,9  <at>  <at> 
 pairs.  To align values of option pairs, you may use the
 "long dot" postfix forms:

   doc/trunk/design/syn/S04.pod

Log:
* S04: minor typo cleanup.
* S04: Document a consequence caused by the statement-terminating
       end-of-line block rule:

    # Without the trailing comma, this becomes a code block
    my $hash = {
        1 => { 2 => 3, 4 => 5 },

  In other words, nested hash literals in other hash literals
  must _not_ be statement-ending.

 You can call an in-place mutator method like this:

 If there is a C<self:sort> operator defined, that will be used.  Otherwise
 one will be autogenerated from the ordinary C<sort> operator, on the

Why's that a "problem"?

Folks want to be able to line stuff up, and to split statements over
multiple lines.  This is now possible.

 The new operators C<< ==> >> and C<< <== >> are akin to UNIX pipes, but
 work with functions that accept and return lists.  For example,

-      <at> result = map { floor($^x / 2) }
-                 grep { /^ \d+ $/ }
+      <at> result = map { floor($^x / 2) },
+                 grep { /^ \d+ $/ },
                     <at> data;
