;;
;;; Commentary:
;;
;; A Lisp-focused approach to extracting values from a complex data
;; structure, similar to how jq works with JSON objects.
;;
;; For instance, given a _parsed_ JSON object (a collection of
;; hash-tables and vectors), like (stored in variable data):
;;
;; { "a": 1,
;; "b": {
;; "x": 10,
;; "y": [100, 101, 102, 103],
;; "z": 30
;; },
;; "c": 3
;; }
;;
;; We should be able to call: (query-tree data 'a 'b 2)
;; Should return 102.
;;
;; *NB:* Do not edit this file. Instead, edit the original literate file at:
;; ~/website/Technical/Emacs/query-data-structures.org
;; And tangle the file to recreate this one.

If TREE is a hash-table, then NODE would be the key, either a
string or a symbol. Return value.
If TREE is a sequence and NODE is number, Return element indexed
by NODE.
If TREE is a Property List, return value of NODE as a key. This
should work with association lists as well."
