+Key can contain slashes to describe path components. The function will go down
+the structure and try to extract the required value.

+not_found -> (optional) will be returned if there is no value or the path did not match. Defaults to nil.

+
+In addition to the required "key" argument, "try_get_value" accepts default
+argument. It will be returned if no value was found or a path component is
+missing. And the fourth argument can set a variable path separator.
