Replying to mhansen:
Another nice thing to have now that I think about it would be this syntax:
sage: xseries = attrcall.series(x) sage: xseries(sin(x), 4) 1*x + (-1/6)*x^3 + Order(x^4)
Your point is that this syntax gives a better visual hint about this being about method calls, right? So here, attrcall would be some sort of dummy object placeholder? Why not. Though I am a bit reluctant with having two syntaxes.
I'll make a new ticket for this so that that it'll backward-compatible with the old version.
Do you mind reviewing this first, so that we can get #7753 in?
I'll review your patch in return :-)

This patch looks good to me.
We should also maybe allow putting keywords in too at the "second stage".
