Title: Nested attribute selector

Ran into the problem, that it's quite ugly to get a value which is nested within an attribute. Momentarily this is done like this: model.get("address").street_name. With my addition it is done like the the following: model.get("address.street_name"), off course model.get("address") also still works.
