It is now possible to leave off the leading period as code snippets can
now be in procedure application position returning themselves.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
process foo
  inputs
    . "something"
    . samples: "a" "b" "c"
  procedure
    define second-sample
      pick second samples: inputs
    # { echo {{second-sample}} }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Ah, that’s better!
