Glom does let you be specific about the exact lookup keys if you want,
to handle keys that contain embedded periods, or non-string keys. The
syntax looks like:
from glom import glom, Path
glom(obj, Path("a", "b.c", 2))
https://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#specifier-types
For a simple case like this t's a bit wordier than obj["a"]["b.c"][2],
but OTOH you get better error message on failed lookups,
null-coalescing support by using default=, etc.
