Great! That solves 75% of the problem.

Still accessing index using "/" (or other separator) would be very handy

$c = $_POST::path('a/b/c', 'def')
$c = $_POST::('a/b/c', 'def')
$c = $_POST@('a/b/c', 'def')
$c = $_POST::at('a/b/c', 'def')


I am not really creative now, but the part I would like to highlight is the
feature and not really the syntax.
