Implicit Object Nesting

[john-michael-murphy]

Description

Current spec requires dot notation to nest properties in an object:

{object}
{object.a}
foo: foo
{object.a.b}
bar: bar
{object.a.b.c}
baz: baz

To reduce verbosity, this PR introduces implicit nesting. Objects declared with a . flag will nest inside the object's parent. Just like with nested arrays, objects must be closed with empty brackets to move up to a parent scope.

With this change, we can now simplify the above expression to the following:

{object}
{.a}
foo: foo
{.b}
bar: bar
{.c}
baz: baz

@isaacwhite, sounds good to me! I've committed the suggestion.

I wonder if the new version 0.5.0 has been published to npm?
