Method group for parameter-less methods.

[MkazemAkhgary]

This is 😕 to me, but lets give it a shot. allow method groups for parameter less methods. for example x => x.Foo() becomes .Foo.

Unfortunately . cant be omitted because it can cause ambiguity if field with same name already exist so that would be a breaking change.

    listOfLists.Where(.Any);

Would be kinda cool but you see these weird syntaxes more likely in c++ than in c# 😄.

See #91

@jnm2 cool, didn't saw that. hmm I don't see necessity of @ by the way.

Check out the other issues linked to #91 too.

@MkazemAkhgary @ would be used with .Any() instead of .Any. So instead of being like a method group, it is a placeholder which can be used multiple times (e.g. listOfInts.Where(@ >= 0 && @ < 100)

@MkazemAkhgary, Any() is technically not a parameterless method, but an extension method. So the following already works:

var res = listOfLists.Where(Enumerable.Any);

but that's not really shorter than:

var res = listOfLists.Where(l => l.Any());

@quinmars you can use static imports to import 'Enumerable.Any' than code is short:

var res = listOfLists.Where(Any);

[quinmars]

@RogerWaters nice idea! This would even be shorter. It does not work, though, for Any() because Any() is an extension method.

IMHO, lambda expressions are compact enough and I do not need any obscure shortening here.
