# Returns a value for a sequence of given keys/indexes into a structure.
# This function is used to "dig into" a complex data structure by
# using a sequence of keys / indexes to access a value from which
# the next key/index is accessed recursively.
#
# The first encountered `undef` value or key stops the "dig" and `undef` is returned.
#
# An error is raised if an attempt is made to "dig" into
# something other than an `undef` (which immediately returns `undef`), an Array or a Hash. 
#
# @example Using `dig`
#
# ~~~ puppet
# $data = {a => { b => [{x => 10, y => 20}, {x => 100, y => 200}]}}
# notice $data.dig(a, b, 1, x)
# ~~~
#
# Would notice the value 100.
#
# @since 4.5.0
#
