How to get values from pseudo-nested maps?

[emcniece]

Hey, thank you for your work! Still doing some testing, but I've got a quick question: is it possible to get nested values from fake nested maps?

Context: I'm kind of hacking 0.11.0 to have nested maps, unable to upgrade to 0.12.0. I've got some environments that I want to iterate through elsewhere, and I'm trying to figure out how to get & set values inside a structure that looks like this:

locals {
  "block1" = {
    dev.env1  = "dev-var1"
    dev.env2  = "dev-var2"
    prod.env1 = "prod-var1"
    prod.env2 = "prod-var2"
    cat       = "meow"
  }
  "block2" = {
    dev.env3  = "dev-var3"
    dev.env4  = "dev-var4"
    prod.env3 = "prod-var3"
    prod.env4 = "prod-var4"
  }
}

So far, the only value I can extract from here is this:

cat test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.cat'
"meow"

Attempting to access the other commands seems to all return []:

cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev.*'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev[]'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev[].*'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev.env1'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev.env1*'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev.env1.*'
cat ./test.tf | hclq get 'locals.block1.dev.env1[]'

Do you by chance know if it's possible to get & set the value for one of these dot-notated dev.env1 values?
