+//! # Lookups
+//!
+//! Sometimes it might be useful to decode/retrieve only internal
+//! nodes. You can use `lookup` to get corresponding value. Note, that
+//! it tries its best to traverse both tables and arrays.  In the
+//! latter case it expects a zero-based index as a path component
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::from_str::FromStr;
+//!
+//! let toml = r#"
+//!      [test]
+//!      foo = "bar"
+//!
+//!      [[values]]
+//!      foo = "baz"
+//!
+//!      [[values]]
+//!      foo = "qux"
+//! "#;
+//! let value: toml::Value = FromStr::from_str(toml).unwrap();
+//! let test_foo = value.lookup("test.foo").unwrap();
+//! println!("test_foo is {}", test_foo);
+//! assert_eq!(test_foo.as_str().unwrap(), "bar");
+//! let foo1 = value.lookup("values.1.foo").unwrap();
+//! println!("foo1 is {}", foo1);
+//! assert_eq!(foo1.as_str().unwrap(), "qux");
