Hi guys, 

Let's say we have this variable stack:

VARIABLES => { version => 3.14,

  'a.b' => 'Sahara', }, 

If I try to access the key 'a.b' using [% a.b %], TT will try to retrieve
the value of key 'b' in hash a, which leads to wrong output. Is there anyway
to escape it to fetch the correct value? Or is there anyway to access the
stash directly to invoke the get function?

Thanks.
