At some point, chaining objects with the . operator becomes dangerous and prone to runtime errors due to an intermedia object being invalid.

It'd be nice to warn against some threshold of chained operations, such as:

if m.object.child.child.child.field = true
...

What should the threshold for chaining calls be?
