Description
Given a complete dict like
{ 'a': { 'b.c.d' } }
for NestedCompleter does not allow completing after typing a b., because the WordCompleter for b. doesn't use sentence=True.
Is it possible to have sentence=True as a default or a configuration option?

Research direction
Read prompt_toolkit/completion/nested.py at the referenced NestedCompleter implementation, focusing on how its WordCompleter is constructed. Trace how the completer handles the example a b. input and determine how a sentence=True default or configuration option should be represented. Done means completing after a b. works for the shown nested dictionary.
