An identifier and a dot following it are separate lexical tokens, so whitespace should be allowed between them in the interests of consistency, even if it's not all that useful.

Agreed. At least it has one usage:

1 .add <method-wrapper object at 0x81c4dec> 1.add File "", line 1 1.add ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax addone = 1 .add addone(5) 6

Even though it's not so beautiful. :)
