Inserting data into any type

[mowshon]

@NV4RE described the unusual behaviour of the dot package: #2

The problem is that if the data insertion path is of type interface{} then dot won't know how to determine the further path.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/mowshon/dot"
)

type MyShopStock struct {
	Shelf     map[string]any
	Werehouse map[string]any
}

type Product struct {
	Price float64
	Name  string
	Qty   uint
}

func main() {
	data := &MyShopStock{
		Shelf: map[string]any{
			"Apple":  Product{Price: 1.99, Name: "apple", Qty: 10},
			"Banana": Product{Price: 0.99, Name: "banana", Qty: 5},
			"Orange": Product{},
		},
	}

	obj, err := dot.New(data)

	err = obj.Insert("Shelf.Orange.Qty", 5)
	fmt.Println(err)
}

After this PR, this code will return an error:

the type in Shelf.Orange is interface{} and it is impossible to further predict the path

Possible solution

If the final destination path is of type any, the value will be inserted without any problems.

err = obj.Insert("Shelf.Orange", Product{
	Qty: 5,
})
