attributes with dots

[faxm0dem]

Since ES2.x dots are not allowed in field names:

MapperParsingException[Field name [facter.operatingsystem] cannot contain '.']

The natural way to handle this would IMHO be to coerce foo.bar = "baz" into {"foo": {"bar" : "baz"}}.
The problem is I'm not very good at clojure, so I'm kindly asking if this is a feature which would seem interesting and if somebody would be willing to point me into the right direction.

What scares me most is the need to handle this recursively. But isn't list all about recursion?

I see from the json documentation that it's possible to

parse some json and munge keywords with a custom function

maybe something's possible using that?
