Need support for periods in an option string?

let say I want options like --vpn.user=bob; vpn.host=sub.domain.net; … adding

vorpal
    .command('...')
    .option('--vpn.user', '...')
    .option('--vpn.host', '...')

would throw an error as options.vpn is not set

so we need to do

vorpal
    .command('...')
    .option('--vpn')
    .option('--vpn.user', '...')
    .option('--vpn.host', '...')

even we don’t have usage for vpn option. this pollute the help generation, is prone to making errors and is kind of a boiler plate

maybe we could use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/objectkit to auto create path ?

@dthree Why would you want to pollute your own code?

@PeterDCarter he was referring to adding necessary boilerplate (or figuratively trash) to the code, obscuring its clarity.
