Technically, it's not "a different meaning."
The dot means, "access the method of the parent." It's hierarchy-specific,
regardless of object orientation.
A datetime function namespaced and called like dt.now() is the exact same
interface result as a call to an object like dt.now(). The only thing that's
different is the behind-the-scenes processing.
