Broken handling of periods about plasma-manager HOT 4 CLOSED

This is also related to 2146eca.

The problem is that there are a few KDE settings that use nested groups and I decided to generate those when the group name contains periods. But then it turns out there there are a few groups that have actual periods in their names! I probably need to give up on using a period in Nix to generate the nested groups.

I suppose a forward slash would be the next best character.

I'm confused, isn't 2146eca supposed to fix this?
That's what I got from the description at least

Looking at that commit it looks like it was supposed to solve it, but this still is a problem it seems like. A proposed solution though is just allowing escaping periods, so that we would use:

files."kwinrc"."org\.kde\.kdecoration2"."ButtonsOnRight" = "SBFIAX";

instead as proposed in #33. This should allow for us to combine nested groups and keys with periods, where the keys with periods would just need to be escaped. In which case #34 should solve this.

This should be available now by manually escaping the periods using "\.". I.e. you should be able to do:

files."kwinrc"."org\\.kde\\.kdecoration2"."ButtonsOnRight" = "SBFIAX";

Closing this now, but if there are any great difficulties with this solution feel free to reopen.
