Thanks, but I want to keep this package focused on the UI part.

In my main Elm project where I extracted this from, we do use keypaths more heavily, but I want to avoid going in that direction in this package.

I must say this rejection forces me to maintain a fork as my project also heavily relies on keypaths. I think this package has potential beyond demo apps if we make the keypaths more expressive.

@FranzSkuffka I know. My other app uses the keypaths to do type-safe lookup in the JSON. I never open-sourced that part because it seemed like too much of an edge case. But I guess if there are other people with similar needs, maybe I should go ahead and bring it in.

What kind of stuff are you using the keypaths for?

I am developing a tool that allows you to easily focus on a subset of information of a data source like an API in order to expose it for further use (this includes type-safe parsing).

Just pushed a new commit transferring changes from my one-file-fork in the private project.
