Not a fun of it using $identifier to imply inference.

I would much rather like .identifier.

I know that is currently used for module scope, but it could have 
been changed to something like static interference instead, so it 
will default to module scope, but can look into other types like 
enum, static members of classes etc.

Basically:

```d
int a = 1;
class B {
   static:
   int b = 2;
}
enum MyEnum { c = 3 }
void main()
{
   writeln(.a);
   writeln(.b);
   writeln(.c);
}
```

Output:

```
1
2
3
```

Basically module scope has first priority, second enum, third 
static members.

So an ambiguity error shouldn't happen if a module scoped 
variable is named the same as an enum member etc.
