 * ### .getPathValue(path, object)
 *
 * This allows the retrieval of values in an
 * object given a string path.
 *
 *     var obj = {
 *         prop1: {
 *             arr: ['a', 'b', 'c']
 *           , str: 'Hello'
 *         }
 *       , prop2: {
 *             arr: [ { nested: 'Universe' } ]
 *           , str: 'Hello again!'
 *         }
 *     }
 *
 * The following would be the results.
 *
 *     getPathValue('prop1.str', obj); // Hello
 *     getPathValue('prop1.att[2]', obj); // b
 *     getPathValue('prop2.arr[0].nested', obj); // Universe
 *
 * @param {String} path
 * @param {Object} object
 * @returns {Object} value or `undefined`
 * @name getPathValue
 * @api public
