We can solve this by always interpreting it as the former and requiring parentheses for the latter—that is, `(\Person.name).valueType`—but I thought it was worth calling out explicitly.

Good point. 

 I'm thinking about the hypothetical code examples from previous emails:


   let isPuppyQualifier = \Pet.type == .dog && \Pet.age < 12
   let familyQualifier = (\Family.pets).contains(where: isPuppyQualifier)
   let familiesWithPuppies = Family.fetch(editingContext, familyQualifier)
