`get` does not deep pick. Syntactically pleasing workaround?

Allow me to speak in code:

var obj = {
    family: 'Fosters',
    person : {
        name : 'Hank',
        data : {
            id : 2,
            checked : false
        }
    }
};

var amend = {
    person : {
        data : {
            checked : true
        }
    }
};

var fam = Lazy(obj).assign(amend);

fam.get('family');
// 'Fosters'

fam.get('family.person.data.checked');
// undefined
// EXPECTED: true

Can I do this in a syntactically pleasant way?

Perhaps get should be extended so we can do something like: fam.get(['family', 'person', 'data', 'checked'])

I’m on the fence on this one. On the one hand, I’m not sure deep-picking really falls under the purview of this library. Lazy.js is about dealing with sequences; I never envisioned it as a do-everything utility belt. On the other hand, I have historically compared it directly to Underscore and Lodash, which describe themselves as utility libraries. So maybe it’s only fair to expect this.

I’ll have a think on it.

@nicemaker That’s be nice considering that is how Lodash does it (so newcomers (like me!) would feel right at home), however I second @Redsandro that an array would be faster than parsing/splitting a string.

I was under the impression that the following would work, but it doesn’t and I’m not sure why:

fam.pick('family').pick('person').pick('data').pick('checked')
