Problem:
So, currently as has been explained to me, doing a lookup with keys
containing "." chops the key at first "." because of scoping and
namespace. This makes file-based lookups impossible (as far as I can
tell). I would like to be able to use HTTP or other backends to serve
files, which by their very nature WILL contain file extensions.
lookup('/path/to/somefile.txt') will lookup "/path/to/somefile"
Expectation:
While I understand that changing the very function of lookup to
accomodate this is out of scope, I would still think that providing a
way to tell lookup to NOT chomp or namespace the lookup would be
appropriate?
Something like "lookup('/path/to/somefile.txt', scope=false)"... In this
manner, the user and more specifically, each lookup call can determine
whether or not to include the dotted key.
You get what you want if you quote the entire key.
lookup("'/path/to/somefile.txt'")
Note the quotes inside of the string. In lookup any quoted part is taken
verbatim and will not be subject to interpretation as a 'dig' into the
value being looked up.

Is this something we could push forward? How would I go about doing that ?
