RFE: Do not split quoted keys with -d

[woky]

I wanted to compose Docker config file with authentication string for repository foo.azurecr.io/bar with the following jo command:

echo REDACTED | jo -d. auths.'"foo.azurecr.io/bar"'.auth=@-

expecting it to produce:

{
  "auths": {
    "foo.azurecr.io/bar": {
      "auth": "REDACTED"
    }
  }
}

But instead it produced:

{
  "auths": {
    "\"foo": {
      "azurecr": {
        "io/bar\"": {
          "auth": "REDACTED"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

(Doubly) Quoted strings are supported in jq:

$ jq -r .auths.'"foo.azurecr.io/bar"'.auth <auth.json
REDACTED

It'd be useful if jo didn't split quoted strings when -d option is in effect. I see no use case for current behavior so I presume this won't break anyone's workflow.

That's unlikely to happen, given that there's already a simple solution available: Use a different delimiter.

$ echo REDACTED | jo -p -d@ auths@foo.azurecr.io/bar@auth=@-
{
   "auths": {
      "foo.azurecr.io/bar": {
         "auth": "REDACTED"
      }
   }
}
