Description

After a subscript operator is encountered, expression evaluation seems to stop.

For example, if we have the following map:

a = ['out1':['in1':1, 'in2':2], 'out2':3]

The following expression evaluates correctly to 1:
a.out1.in1

This expression evaluates to null:
a['out1'].in1

And this evaluates to ["in1"]:
a['out1']['in1']

The same thing happens when using the subscript operator on a List of Java objects; the expression fails to evaluate correctly after the first subscript operator is encountered.
