Create subkeys with dots as needed about box

Currently no, but I am not opposed to that as a feature.

Found a 'cheap' way to do this:

In [1]: from box import Box

In [2]: box_data = Box(box_dots=True, default_box=True)

In [3]: box_data.a.b.c = 1

In [4]: box_data.a.b.c
Out[4]: 1

In [5]: v = 1234

In [6]: exec('box_data.c.a.b = v', locals())

In [7]: box_data.c.a.b
Out[7]: 1234

The exec mechanism can be used if you have a key as a string too:

In [8]: key = 'z.y.x'

In [9]: exec(f'box_data.{key} = v', locals())

In [10]: box_data.z.y.x
Out[10]: 1234

Optimally a better way wouldn't require something like an exec call.

With Box 7 going to have it so you can combine default_box and box_dots as you described and have it work with dots in strings as well. So:

a = Box(box_dots=True, default_box=True)
a['b.c'] = 3 
# Box({'b': {'c': 3}})
