Hi

Is there a plan to  support "recursive loockups" ie  set or retrieve keys based on value of another key ?

ie search a key (in pseudocode)

get( "something_{subkey_1}_somethingelse_{subkey_2}") 

will result  like  this. 

get("something_".get("subkey_1")."_somethingelse_".get("subkey_2"))


It is useful for simulating a multidimensional arrays for example or for  caching a pointers to data.

Yes, I know that it can be done by application logic, but  for simulating a multidimensional array you need a n+1 single loockups...



Please execuse my wrong english.
