escape()

[kakserpom]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch dot-prop@6.0.1 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/dot-prop/index.js b/node_modules/dot-prop/index.js
index aa9c5bb..57a49b5 100644
--- a/node_modules/dot-prop/index.js
+++ b/node_modules/dot-prop/index.js
@@ -134,5 +134,9 @@ module.exports = {
 		}
 
 		return true;
+	},
+
+	escape(prop) {
+		return prop.replace(/\./g, '\\.')
 	}
 };

This issue body was partially generated by patch-package.

A good pull request with docs, tests, and types would be welcome. I think the method should be called escapeKeyPath.

To futureproof this, it would be a good idea to segment the path and then reassemble an escaped version from there. Especially with #82.
