The following simplification:

https://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/1adacde1a472d7a7

shows the full_id_t has the full attributes; however,
it does *not* join  them with the '.' char.  Instead,
it's a vector<std::string>.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to automatically combine
into a single string, but maybe this simplification will
give you a starting point to figure that out.
