Description
Hello, is there a syntax in order to specify to look for a key in the whole data structure?
For example in JSONPath I can execute
`$.sections[*]..item`
The double dots indicate to search 'item' at every nested level after 'sections'
Is it possible also in jmespath?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the JMESPath syntax and how it represents nested data, then compare the requested recursive lookup with the JSONPath example `$.sections[*]..item`. Done would mean a decided, documented way to search for `item` at every nested level after `sections`, with the behavior and scope clearly specified.
