Description

Hi,

I'll begin by saying, amazing library, thank you!

I've looked at the `getPath` signature and started wondering whether it wouldn't be nicer if it had the following signature: `list(string) => option(string) = ;`

It would mean less parsing in the library and support for crazy json authors who include `.` in their keys.

This is all a bit inspired, by how Ramda does it: https://ramdajs.com/docs/#path

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the getPath definition and any tests covering JSON path parsing. Compare the current signature with the proposed list(string) => option(string) API and check how keys containing dots should be handled. Done means the API supports those keys without breaking existing path behavior.
