cue export -e "<toplevel fieldname containing dot>"; exporting a field at the toplevel that contains a dot .

Usually, an index expression can be quoted, and cue will treat everything in the quotes as a fieldname.

However, when accessing a top level field via an expression on the cli, if you attempt to quote the field name then the cli will interpret that expression as a plain string (which is sensible).

My question is - is there a syntax to get around this syntax conflict between strings and index expressions?

Maybe a '$."fieldname.with.dot"' or similar?

I believe this is #358.
