Allow query syntax keywords to be used as (dotted) property accessors without escaping

[c0shea]

Describe the bug I'm trying to select the "From" property on my RequestDto property in the event. I can't use the dot syntax, as Seq reports the error "Syntax error (line 1, column 19): unexpected keyword From, expected identifier."

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try to run the query select RequestDto.From from stream where Route like '/email%' ci and Elapsed > 1000 limit 1

Expected behavior The query should execute, as From is not a keyword in this context. I had to run it this way instead select RequestDto['From'], RequestDto['To'] from stream where Route like '/email%' ci and Elapsed > 1000 limit 1

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Browser Edge
• Seq Version 2024.3.12250
• Using Docker? No

Thanks for the note 👍

This is by design; the RequestDto['From'] syntax is correct, though it's an annoying limitation that we intend to lift when there's an opportunity (likely by tokenizing any keyword immediately following . as if it's an identifier).
