 *
 * To include a literal '.' in a key name, it must be escaped as '..'
 *

 * { 'foo.0.bar': 'one', 'foo.0.wizz': '1',
 *   'foo.1.bar': 'two', 'foo.1.wizz': '2' }

 * error being returned:
 *
 *  - Any values in @src are non-scalar types
 *  - If keys in @src imply that a particular level is both a
 *    list and a dict. e.g., "foo.0.bar" and "foo.eek.bar".
 *  - If keys in @src imply that a particular level is a list,
 *    but the indices are non-contiguous. e.g. "foo.0.bar" and
 *    "foo.2.bar" without any "foo.1.bar" present.
 *  - If keys in @src represent list indexes, but are not in
 *    the "%zu" format. e.g. "foo.+0.bar"

 * Returns: either a QDict or QList for the nested data structure, or NULL
 * on error
