> Groovy prefers the . (dereference) operator over the decimal interpretation, but does not permit use of decimals that are conventional:
> groovy:000> .3
> groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: . @ line 2, column 1.
>    .3
>    ^
> groovy:000> (.3)
> groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: . @ line 2, column 2.
>    (.3)
>     ^
> groovy:000> (3.)
> groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: ) @ line 2, column 4.
>    (3.)
>       ^
