So I would agree that method invocation on literals (particularly string literals) is an already established language idiom.

And who hasn't ever used 4.56.asintegerratio()? :)

I've tried 4.add a few times (not for a while now though).

That's a Syntax Error

4.add File "", line 1 4.add ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

however this works:

4 .add <method-wrapper '__add__' of int object at 0x1E1FA028>
