Description
The following is valid however tomlkit isn't able to properly handle the dual scopes:
a.b.c = 12
[a.b]
d = 34
import tomlkit
doc = tomlkit.parse("""\
a.b.c = 12
[a.b]
d = 34
""")
# looking at the doc shows incomplete data
doc # {'a': {'b': {'d': 34}}}
# retrieving data works
doc['a']['b']['c'] # 12
# modifying data fails
doc['a']['b']['c'] = 45
doc['a']['b']['c'] # 12
doc['a']['b']['d'] = 100
doc['a']['b']['d'] # 34

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example through tomlkit.parse and compare the document view with direct retrieval and assignment for c and d. Trace the parser's handling of the dotted key and the later [a.b] table, then verify that both values appear in the document and remain independently mutable.
