I'll propose a new color for this bikeshed:

a.[[b]]

  handlers = chain.get(kind, ())
  for handler in handlers:
      func = handler.[[meth_name]]
      result = func(*args)
      if result is not None:
          return result

Little heavy on the eye, but it seems that it's exactly what people want and 
can't find in the .[] syntax.
