In all major programming languages we access object properties and methods
using dot(.).

C#:
Abc Abc =3D new Abc();
Abc.method();

Java:
Abc Abc =3D new Abc();
Abc.method();

JavaScript:
var apple =3D new function() {
    this.name =3D "Test";
}
alert(apple.name());


Why not to make PHP similar to these languages by allowing to access object
properties and methods using dot(.). We will still keep "->" until PHP 8 to
maintain backward compatibility.
