Looks a terrible feature to me! If I write statement foo->bar for
an  object, the editor would change it to foo.bar, but what if I meant
operator  -> ()? To check the class definition for operator -> () is
not a good solution, too, because one can intend to fix the class
definition later. There is no reason to copy the disturbing behaviour
of Microsoft user interface, which forces you to do things in the
way they like, not in the way you like.
