PipeScript should support dotting

[StartAutomating]

One of the things that PowerShell's object pipeline can do, but its syntax doesn't do elegantly, is invoking a method or returning one or more properties.

PipeScript should innovate here by robustly supporting the dot operator.

For example:

'a','ba','ca'|.IndexOf('a')

Compared to:

'a','ba','ca'|  Foreach-Object{ $_.IndexOf("a") }

# or 

foreach ($val in 'a','ba','ca') {  $val.IndexOf("a"} }

of even:

"a","b","c" |.Length

Compared to:

"a","b","c" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Length

Where things can get more interesting is in having multiple properties chained within an expression.

$x, $y = $bitmap | .Width.Height

Ideally, dotting should include a minimum amount of code to perform multiple operations.
