Hi, all.

When we today want to extract a value which lies deep in a complex
object, we have to say like:
``((Data#type1.field1)#type2.field2)#type3.field3''
but it looks ugly.

I suggest more straightforward syntax:
``Data#type1.field1#type2.field2#type3.field3.''

Attached patch implements this.


Regards.

Hi, all.

In addition to previous,
this one extends another syntax,
``Data#type1.field1#type2{ field2 = value2 }.''


Regards.
