So, the -> operator is supposed to get expanded in dq strings, eh?  

What about class methods, like "Give him Employee->salary() again"? 

Or what about things like "move lost->found"?  What does that do?
And why is -> special then?  What about "move lost+found"?  Surely
we can't be adding those now!

Isn't it inconsistent to do this?
