There are more operations one can perform on a node than just getting. So I 
would rather replace operator () overload with explicitly named functions: 
get, put, set, del.

The use will look like that:

int n = pt["a.very"]["long"]["path"].get<int>();
pt["a.very"]["long"]["path"].del();
pt["a.very"]["long"]["path"].put(17);

Best regards,
Marcin
