Currently in lichen data sources are identically access

root
    thing1.stuff
    thing2.stuff #defined in Rust traits when implemented
;

def thing1
    stuff 1.0
;

This is not always obvious, and maybe rust-side data should be prefixed, maybe with ~. Another good way could be parenthesis, similar to custom function calls that exist on rust-side;

root
    ~thing2.stuff  #option
    (thing2).stuff    #alt option
;

Going to keep current syntax as it allows for overriding behaviors
