What we can do is make standalone-parent ignore “.” when checking for “standaloneness”. And perhaps make it configurable so it’s enabled only for modes that this waiver makes sense (C-like languages excluding C and C++).

Maybe not by hardcoding this in inside the 'standalone-parent' matcher, 
but writing this in the indentation rules? Different languages might 
have differing ASTs for such construct.

Or if you meant to do a text search, a period might start a method call, 
but it could also continue a "range" literal in some other language, or 
some struct initializer (I think?) in C/C++. Also, some languages allow 
(and style guides suggest) to have the previous at the end of the line, 
then followed by newline and then the method name.
