[FEAT] Support Set with Slice (Array) Index Using Square Brackets?

[KiddoV]

It would be nice to support slice index in .Set()
Example:

config.Set("parent.child[0]", "Test1")
config.Set("parent.child[1]", "Test2")

Currently, the result will be like:

{
    "parent": {
        "child[0]": "Test1",
        "child[1]": "Test1"
    }
}

==> Expecting result would look like:

{
    "parent": {
        "child": [
          "Test1",
          "Test2"
        ]
    }
}

Does the new version v2.2.1 also support array of object like:

{
    "parent": [
        {
            "child1Field1": 1,
            "child1Field2": 2
        },
        {
            "child2Field1": 3,
            "child2Field2": 4
        }
    ]
}

When I do config.Set("parent[0].child1Field1", 5) it doesn't work tho.
Result:

{
    "parent": [
        {
            "child1Field1": 1,
            "child1Field2": 2
        },
        {
            "child2Field1": 3,
            "child2Field2": 4
        }
    ],
    "parent[0]": {
        "child1Field1": 5
    }
}

Expecting result:

{
    "parent": [
        {
            "child1Field1": 5,
            "child1Field2": 2
        },
        {
            "child2Field1": 3,
            "child2Field2": 4
        }
    ]
}

Can you also implement to support this?
Thanks!

This must be a bug or something. I noticed we can do this, but only the second time on. (ONLY when the JSON file doesn't contain these config yet)
When call config.Set("parent[0].child1Field1", 5) the first time, data will be created like this:

{
    [...]
    "parent[0]": {
        "child1Field1": 5
    }
}

But call the second time it would be correct:

{
    [...]
    "parent": { //When calling the second time and so on...
        [...]
        {
            "child1Field1": 5,
            [...]
        }
    },
    "parent[0]": { //When calling the first time
        "child1Field1": 5
    }
}

And when I reload the program and keep those config in the JSON file to be loaded. I will get this error after call: config.Set("parent[0].child1Field1", 5):

key parent[0] elem must be map for set sub-value by remain path: parent[0].child1Field1

Any idea?

Any update on this?
