Also, it's not like you can't emulate this at the language level:
```js
function setIn(object, path, value) {
return path.slice(0, -1)
.reduce((o, p) => o[p], object)
[path[path.length - 1]] = value
}
const gpi = setIn(object, ["basenet", "supernet"],
new Network().typeOf({ starTopology: [[0, 1, ..], [2, 3, ..],..] })
)
```
Lodash has a variant of this in its [`_.set`][1] method, which returns
the object rather than the operand. The equivalent to that would be
this:
```js
const gpi = new Network().typeOf({ starTopology: [[0, 1, ..], [2, 3, ..],..] })
_.set(object, "basenet.supernet", gpi)
```
