Is there any plan to support the persistence of nested dictionaries?

E.g. mydict = SqliteDict('./my_db.sqlite', autocommit=True) newdict = dict() dict['key-1'] = 'value-1' mydict['newdict'] = newdict

Untill here everything is persistent. But if I modify the internal dictionary now, it is not persisted.

newdict1 = mydict['newdict'] newdict1['key-2'] = 'value-2'

But this new key ('key-2') is not reflected in the database.
