Can dot operator be used to make a ".." range ?

[Cleiton Santoia]

Can I do a double "." ? 

struct iterator{

   struct first_leg {
     iterator& it_;
     first_leg(const iterator& it) : it_(it) {}

     Range operator.(const iterator &end) { return Range(it_, end); };
   }

   first_leg operator.() { return first_leg(*this); }

}

iterator a = c.begin();
iterator b = c.end()
Range x = a..b; // dot operator twice ?

for ( auto i : x ) { 
// code...
}

If you're talking about Stroustrup's operator-dot proposal, no; `..` would still be syntactic nonsense. The proposed `operator.` doesn't really override the use of the `.` grammar. It overrides essentially all operations that would access that type through a variable or reference to an object.
