I can certainly agree with that sentiment, especially when working with
something like GraphQL that tends to return deeply nested JSON objects.
Repeatedly using [''] can get quite tiresome (and not look particularly
great) with something like this:

```
for pr_edge in pr_json['data']['user']['pullRequests']['edges']:
     for comment_edge in pr_edge['node']['comments']['edges']:
          commenter = comment_edge['node']['author']['login']
          ...
```
