Dot

Dot
accesses class members defined by means of Class. Within this context, it has attribute HoldRest. $.x.y generates the symbol xy. Dot yields the ordinary Dot product, if its first parameter is neither $, New or a class nor an object generated by means of Class.
  • The builtin behavior of Dot is not affected.
