That particular case could be handled by just not colouring
any word following a dot.

Some other situations might result in false positives, but
there are cases like that already. Many Python colourisers
colour any occurrence of a builtin function name, even if
it has been shadowed, and people seem to live with that.

It might even be useful, if it alerts people that a name
they're using is reserved in some contexts, and so might
be best avoided.
