It would be nice to know in advance what parts of the jmespath spec are supported.
jq allows top level dots. So
echo '{"foo": "bar"}' | jq '.foo
bar
Also echo '{"a": "b", "c": "d"}' | jq '[.a, .c]' works in jq.
But jmespath parser complains that the '.' is an invalid character. This seems to be only the case when it starts a pattern expression.
