Namespaces with slashes not working

Describe the bug

Separating namespaces into subfolders, the namespace match with slashes don’t work. There’s a problem to support slashes as a namespace separator.

Locales structure:

locales
└── en-US
    ├── common.json
    ├── models
    │   └── model-companies.json
    └── pages
        ├── home.json
        └── login.json

Namespace that i need to match:

t("pages/login:unauthorized.title")

i18n-ally settings:

  "i18n-ally.localesPaths": ["public/locales"],
  "i18n-ally.pathMatcher": "{locale}/{namespaces}.{ext}",
  "i18n-ally.enabledParsers": ["json"],
  "i18n-ally.namespace": true,
  "i18n-ally.keystyle": "nested",
  "i18n-ally.displayLanguage": "pt-BR",
  "i18n-ally.enabledFrameworks": [ "react", "i18next"],

Should be supported in v2.4.4

Hi @antfu, An issue was opened on this subject in the i18next repository https://github.com/i18next/i18next/issues/1404, the maintainers do not mention the use of : for subfolders and the conclusion is that this is a feature for a few case and recommend creating your own customization of the framework to deal with it. https://www.i18next.com/misc/creating-own-plugins

However, I suspect there was a customization like this to work in this case. https://github.com/antfu/i18n-ally/issues/342#issuecomment-657492465 As mentioned by @haggen I also think that using “:” to separate both namespaces and subfolders can cause problems because if is a namespace or folder separator, it corresponds to different locales.
