I > think we should provide another method called `get()` to return the > structured value (e.g., value, list, or map) under the current key. > In fact, the functionality of `get()` has already been implemented in all > types of states: e.g., `value()` in ValueState and `get()` in ListState. The > modification to the interface can better abstract these states. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
