__setitem__ does not work on a dictionary of `lists` for `FlatterDict`

[darioisola]

The following

import flatdict

fdoc = flatdict.FlatterDict({'a': [3, 4]})
fdoc['a:0'] = 1

should set the first element of the list a but it raises the an error

which I can be fixed in various ways. I assume this is not the intended behavior.

According to my undertanding - this is not expected behavior. It's clearly stated in the examples from the main page, that LISTs are supported:

value = flatdict.FlatterDict({'list': ['a', 'b', 'c']})

In any case we needed to fix it for our need, but I have a strange feeling that PR won't be accepted. I can see PRs are not processed since 9 Feb 2021. Example: https://github.com/gmr/flatdict/pull/45

Here is my PR https://github.com/gmr/flatdict/pull/52
