To handle ambiguity when a property name contains a dot, any literal dot or
backslash found in a property name should be escaped with a backslash. E.g. a
property `m.relates_to` in the `content` would be expressed as
`content.m\.relates_to`.
`content.m\.relates_to`. Similarly, a `content` property named `m\foo` would be
expressed as `content.m\\foo`.
It is recommended that implementations do not redundantly escape characters, as
other escape sequences are reserved for future use.
Other escape sequences are left as-is, e.g. a `\x` would be treated as a literal
backslash followed by 'x'. It is recommended that implementations do not redundantly
escape characters, as other escape sequences are reserved for future use.
