+In ARF, the member selection operator (.) is not an operator. It instead links
+multiple name tokens together to form what is called an identifier. For example:
+
+```
+io.println
+```
+
+...refers to the `println` member of the entity `io`.
+
+Only name tokens can be used in identifiers. If a member of an object that results from another operation needs to be accessed, that object must first be assigned to a variable.
+
+ARF does not have separate syntax for accessing a member of a pointer. The dot works either way, like in Go.
