Using backticks is orthogonal to using a dot. Backticks in Cuis means 
that the expression is evaluated just once when compiling the method, 
and the result is kept in a method literal. It means you can make any 
object into a method literal like 1.23 or 'hello'.

The reason for not using a dot would be to avoid adding new syntax to 
the language.

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

Thanks,
