Example Usage

include 'src/Multi/Arr.php';

// Instantiate object and pass an array to the constructor
$arr = new Multi\Arr(array(
    'level1'    => array(
        'level2'    => array(
            'level3'    => array(
                    'name'  => 'Tester',
                    'demo'  => 'This is a demo',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    'anotherIndex'  => array(
        'test'  => 'Yet another test',
        ),
    )
);

// Access specific level of the array
var_dump($arr['level1.level2.level3']);

// Set a embedded value
$arr['level1.testset'] = 'A test of setting.';

// Unset an embedded value
unset($arr['anotherIndex.test']);

// Change the delimiter to something else
$arr->setDelimiter('-');

// Now access elements using the new delimiter
var_dump($arr['level1-testset']);
