I’m rather uncomfortable with (1), for reasons mentioned by others before:
it prevents cutting a sequence of .field with a newline.
I’m agnostic between (2) and (3).
I’m fine with a vote, but even more fine with Simon just choosing for
everybody else :) .

Hi,
I dislike separating the two major questions.
If we go with (3) (tight postfix, Ocaml-style), the no-space question becomes irrelevant; we’d not even have to mention it any more, as it follows naturally from tight binding.
If we go with (2) (same-as-application, JS-style), then the no-space question becomes “do we want to make zero whitespace special”.
So to me, the two questions are inherently tied together.
If it comes to a vote, that’s not a problem; ranked voting will take care of that.
Views have been exchanged, no new technical insights have appeared for a while and this is inherently opinion-based, so I am inclined to just resolve this by voting among the committee, instead of poking until consensus emerges.
Cheers, Joachim
