since . is used as a delimiter between path segments, you indeed cannot find paths
that contain a . in a segment.

I see no nice way out of this.

One way is to allow to escape dots in the path. 
But because every character is allowed in a javascript object property, that
would mean that \. can also be a correct property name, and so we need to
introduce \\ as an escape for \...

It could be added.
