- /** Deep key search based methods for hierarchical container structures.
- *
- * A deep key search works like a normal search, except that the "key" is
- * interpreted as a series of keys, to be recursively applied in a "drill down"
- * fashion. There are two variants of each: the "deep key" variant, where the
- * key series is passed as an array, and the "key path" variant, where the
- * key series is passed as a serialized path, similar to filesystem paths
- * (a string where entries are separated by slashes).
- *
- * For example, if objectForDeepKey were called with [@"top", @"sublevel", @"2",
- * @"item] (or objectForKeyPath were called with @"top/sublevel/2/item"), it
- * would search as follows:
- *
- * result = [self objectForKey:@"top"];
- * result = [result objectForKey:@"sublevel"];
- * result = [result objectForKey:@"2"];
- * result = [result objectForKey:@"item"];
- *
- * Note that if any potential container along the way does not respond to
- * "objectForKey:", it will check to see if the container responds to
- * "objectAtIndex:" AND the current key responds to "intValue". If both do
- * respond, it will retrieve the current result using an array lookup:
- *
- * result = [result objectAtIndex:[currentKey intValue]];
