Consider whether to support "bald" recursive descent $..

If so, should Proposal A support this?

[glyn]

Although supporting this would make the syntax more uniform, 19 out of 37 implementations (as well as @cburgmer's Proposal A) in the comparison project return "not supported" and 4 fail when executing the query.

So, even though Goessner (JavaScript and PHP) does support $.., It seems that this is unlikely ever to become a consensus.

[cburgmer]

I'm documenting the decision right now:

No consensus, but more specifically would introduce more complexity into grammar without much gain to the user. (We would have to introduce a specific terminating rule for the bald version, to avoid $...name becoming valid.)

Thanks @cburgmer and good point about $...name.
