Get a nested object property by passing a dot notation string as the property name
/**
* A function to take a string written in dot notation style, and use it to
* find a nested object property inside of an object.
*
* Useful in a plugin or module that accepts a JSON array of objects, but
* you want to let the user specify where to find various bits of data
* inside of each custom object instead of forcing a standardized
* property list.
*
* @param String nested A dot notation style parameter reference (ie "urls.small")
