Feature #7055: Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=`

=begin
I propose to make the use of `self` in method calls optional:

  .foo = 'bar'

instead of

  self.foo = 'bar'

This only matters of course for assignment methods, to distinguish a method call from creating or setting a local variable.
