The names of many class methods and instance methods aren't parsed as syntactic elements where they are invoked, and so can't be given their own colours.
Steps to Reproduce
Create the following Ruby code in Atom editor:
class MyClass
def self.class_method
puts 'Class'
end
def inst_method(i)
puts i
end
end
2. Open Atom's dev tools and inspect the HTML that displays the code, especially for the line `an_instance.inst_method(99)`:
····
an_instance
.
inst_method
(99)¤¬
**Expected behavior:**
The names of all methods being invoked should have HTML `<span>` elements with `syntax--` classes indicating what they are.
**Actual behavior:**
The method names are bare text in the enclosing `<span class="syntax--source syntax--ruby">` so cannot be distinguished from other Ruby source code.
**Reproduces how often:**
Every time, for all types of method invocation tested, for all methods apart from `new` and some other built in ones.
e.g. `string.chomp` => `<span class="syntax--support syntax--function syntax--kernel syntax--ruby">chomp</span>`
but `string.length` => bare text `length`

### Additional Information
It doesn't parse the method names correctly even though it parses the `.`s that precedes them as method separators and any parentheses that follow them as function separators.
