I really dislikes the .[ or .( or .{ operators. Just on my mail editor the two expressions

a.[b] and a,[b] are quite hard to differentiate while completely unrelated.

I'll propose a new color for this bikeshed:

a.[[b]]

handlers = chain.get(kind, ()) for handler in handlers: func = handler.[[meth_name]] result = func(*args) if result is not None: return result

Little heavy on the eye, but it seems that it's exactly what people want and can't find in the .[] syntax.
