Dear Andrew,
Responding from a hiking holiday with low internet access: in the latest version on github it is possible to switch from "." to "$" as separation symbol. The "." is the default so whisker conforms to the mustache standard.
Best regards,

Whisker seems to fail when there is a period in the name of the variable. Considering that R variables quite typically have periods in the name, this is very problematic.
whisker.render("{{user.name}}", list(user.name=342)) [1] "" whisker.render("{{username}}", list(username=342)) [1] "342"
If there is a way around this please let me know. Also, if this is an intentional design decision, it would be good to hear the reason for doing so.

Hi Edwin - thanks for the update, I'll check that out. Enjoy the views!
I feel like it makes sense to use $
by default for the separation symbol. .
is all ubiquitous in R object names. For example, make.names
uses "." as the replacement when it sees a symbol it doesn't like:
make.names("var$name")
#> [1] "var.name"

If there is a way around this please let me know. I imagine it's a quick fix. Also if this is an intentional design choice that'd be good to know too. Thanks!
