Dig - fetch/query in live objects

This module if for reading values from live objects. The general idea is that you use a function kingston.dig.dig() with an object and a string. The string is (somewhat) inspired by a CSS selector. It specifies how to get a certain sub-element.

The goal is that these spec-strings should be storable for future re-use.

This module is a work in progress module and thus subject to change.
