Hi Carlos,

This sounds interesting.

A mature solution used in JS is lodash, with the get and has functions:
- https://lodash.com/docs/#get
- https://lodash.com/docs/#has
Also, from what I could search, Laravel array helpers have this
functionality as well:
- https://laravel.com/docs/master/helpers#method-array-get
- https://laravel.com/docs/master/helpers#method-array-has
I was curious; did you research both, and maybe also other libraries? If
yes, it would be nice to mention this in the RFC.

They have some options, like allowing the key parameter as a list of
strings as well.
And also escaping the dot in the key in one way or another.
