Hi, Rick:

Yes, there's no question that the original data structure
design was extremely clunky for C programmers.  This was
recognized fairly early on, so Willem came up with a
really nice alternative syntax for accessing deeply-nested
data, for both read and write.  It resembles JSON pointers
and Unix filesystem paths and saves writing a ton of repetitive
code.  I wrote up a blog post on it, here:
