/**
 * At the basic level, a key path is the string equivalent
 * of dot notation in JavaScript. Take the following object,
 * for example:
 *
 *     const obj = {
 *       color: {
 *         name: 'cerulean',
 *         code: {
 *           rgb: [0, 179, 230],
 *           hex: '#003BE6'
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 * You can access the value of the key `name` in plain
 * JavaScript by traversing the tree using object dot
 * notation, like so:
 *
 *     console.log(obj.color.name);
 *     // => "cerulean"
 *
 * Similarly in Electron Settings, you are reading and
 * writing to a JSON object in a file, and a key path is
 * just a string that points to a specific key within that
 * object -- essentially using object dot notation in
 * string form.
 *
 *     settings.get('color.name');
 *     // => "cerulean"
 *
 * Key paths need not be just strings. In fact, there are
 * perfectly valid use-cases where you might need to access
 * a key, but the name of the key is stored in some
 * variable. In this case, you can specify an array of
 * strings which can be flattened into a regular key path.
 *
 *     const h = 'hue';
 *     settings.get(['color', h]);
 *     // => undefined
 *
 * Additionally, since Electron Settings uses Lodash's
 * {@link https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#get|get()}
 * function under the hood, you can even use array syntax:
 *
 *     settings.get('color.code.rgb[1]');
 *     // => 179
 *
 * Using key paths, you are not limited to setting only
 * top-level keys like you would be with LocalStorage. With
 * Electron Settings, you can deeply nest properties like
 * you would with any other object in JavaScript, and it
 * just feels natural.
 */

 * writes to a JSON file, any value you set must be a valid
 * JSON value. This does however mean that `Date` types are
 * _not_ supported.
 *
 * Either simply store a numeric unix timestamp using
 * `Date.now()`, or convert dates back into `Date` types
 * using `new Date()`:
