Using backticks is orthogonal to using a dot. Backticks in Cuis means <br>
that the expression is evaluated just once when compiling the method, <br>
and the result is kept in a method literal. It means you can make any <br>
object into a method literal like 1.23 or 'hello'.<br>
<br>
The reason for not using a dot would be to avoid adding new syntax to <br>
the language.<br>

Nice to know. If you imagine any warning or tweak to the docs we could <br>
add to lessen that initial surprise, please tell. Feedback from people <br>
with different backgrounds (from beginners to old timers, with assorted <br>
non-Smalltalk tastes and experience) is really useful for polishing the <br>
experience for everybody. So, please take a few minutes to see if you <br>
have any suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
