Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the ytt CLI with `foo: #@data.values` and compare it with the spaced form. Trace how the template parser handles this expression; done means the no-space form produces a clear error with a helpful hint instead of silently failing to show the data value.
