* Enables reading the value of the attribute specified by the path

* The path may be:
* - simple -> it includes a single attribute only, like "name"
* - nested -> it includes more then a single attribute separated with a dot (.), e.g. person.address.city
*
* The path may also includes array cells:
* - specific quantifier, like person.leg[1] -> returns the leg with index 1
* - wildcard quantifier, like person.leg[any] -> returns all legs
*
* The wildcard quantifier may be used a couple of times, like person.leg[any].finger[any] which returns all fingers
* from all legs.
