Description

currently we use struct package provided by starlark. it seems that it lacks few things that would make it friendlier to use (especially for case of data.values).

- [ ] support iteration (e.g. `for k in st`)
- [ ] support [] accessor (e.g. st["foo"] in addition to st.foo)
- [ ] `in` check (e.g. `"foo" in st`)
- [ ] anything else that we have done for yaml fragments https://github.com/k14s/ytt/blob/develop/pkg/yamltemplate/starlark_fragment.go?

Research direction

Start by examining how the current Starlark struct package is used, then compare its behavior with pkg/yamltemplate/starlark_fragment.go. Define the supported behavior for iteration, [] access, membership checks, and any additional YAML-fragment behavior; the work is done when the requested struct operations are supported and verified.
