I'm not sure if the recursive 'items as attributes within items as attributes...' feature is a can of worms or if it's something like defaultdict(dict), but with more levels. Getting deeply nested items with dots seems to be the usual use (i.e. complicated JSONs), and I think the degree of laziness in creating/setting nested items is variable. Nick
