Further investigation shows that this is not a bug.

    array.func(arguments)

is rewritten to be:

    .func(array, arguments)

Note the leading ., which means look for func() at module scope. Foo.bar() in
the example is not at module scope, hence it is not found. Note that the error
message gives the clue in referring to "mymodule.bar", not just "bar".

This was a deliberate design choice, as universal function call syntax is a
feature meant to be used with global functions, not local ones.
