The only contexts I thought of where this might be a problem would be Lisp cons literals and the C trinary operator, and maybe the C member operator. In all cases handling this smoothly would involve a change to the end of sentence recognition to require non-whitespace before the full stop. I have never seen people use styles like '(car. cdr) ;; not a dotted list in Emacs Lisp, anyway x = bool? val1: val2; aggregate. member = x; so I don't think it would be a problem in practice.
