This seems like a lot of solution for what really isn't a problem. Another
tactic would be to recognize that parentheses are beautiful and clarify,
rather than obfuscate, code, and more people should use them more often.
Not that there's anything WRONG with your suggestion -- only that it's not
REALLY all that confusing to refer to ((Session)session()).myMethod(),
either.
Once one starts down the "parens are confusing and add clutter" path, one
begins to encounter such monsters as
if (a && b = c() || d)
Which, while perfectly readable, would be MUCH nicer with a few more
parentheses! (Better, broken onto separate lines with intermediate
variables, but I won't start THAT flame war... <G>)
