Description
I want to be able to write my column names with dot notation, like this:
name.first,name.last,age
john,doe,25
The parsing should result in this:
[
{
name: {
first: 'john',
last: 'doe'
},
age: 25
}
]
I dont know if it's already possible and I just dont understand how to do it.

Done means the example headers produce nested name fields while preserving age parsing, with coverage for the requested behavior.
