Description

In RABL you can "glue" attributes, for example:

glue(:foo) do
    attribute :jon => :doe
end

would be the same as:

expose :doe do |entity,opts|
    entity.foo.jon
end

It would be nice to be able to do that in a shorter way.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing expose DSL and its handling of nested attributes, then compare it with the glue and expose examples in the issue. Done means a shorter glue syntax supports the shown mapping and produces the same result as the equivalent expose block, with coverage for that behavior.
