+The syntax sugar allowing notations such as `((foo a b c).bar x.y).baz`.

+Lean provides two interpretations of the syntax `foo.bar`: it can mean the declaration `bar` in the `foo` namespace, or it can be generalized field notation. Suppose `foo` has type `C x1 ... xn`, with `C` some constant and `x1 ... xn` arbitrary, then `foo.bar` is sugar for `C.bar foo`. For calls of the form `foo.bar _ ... _` with (implicit or explicit) arguments, Lean is smart enough to expand to `C.bar _ ... foo _ ... _`, so that everything typechecks. In these previous examples, `foo` can also be a more complicated expression such as function application.

 ### `equiv`
 
 As distinct from mathematical equality, [`equiv`](mathlib_docs/data/equiv/basic.html) allows for defining an equivalence or congruence of types.
