/**
 * TDataFieldAccessor class
 *
 * TDataFieldAccessor is a utility class that provides access to a field of some data.
 * The accessor attempts to obtain the field value in the following order:
 * - If the data is an array, then the field is treated as an array index
 *   and the corresponding element value is returned;
 * - If the data is a TMap or TList object, then the field is treated as a key
 *   into the map or list, and the corresponding value is returned.
 * - If the data is an object, the field is treated as a property or sub-property
 *   defined with getter methods. For example, if the object has a method called
 *   getMyValue(), then field 'MyValue' will retrieve the result of this method call.
 *   If getMyValue() returns an object which contains a method getMySubValue(),
 *   then field 'MyValue.MySubValue' will return that method call result.

	 * - If the data is an array, then the field is treated as an array index
	 *   and the corresponding element value is returned; the field name can also include
	 *   dots to access subarrays. For example a field named 'MyField.MySubField' will
	 *   first try to access $data['MyField.MySubField'], then try $data['MyField']['MySubField'].
	 * - If the data is a TMap or TList object, then the field is treated as a key
	 *   into the map or list, and the corresponding value is returned.
	 * - If the data is an object, the field is treated as a property or sub-property
	 *   defined with getter methods. For example, if the object has a method called
	 *   getMyValue(), then field 'MyValue' will retrieve the result of this method call.
	 *   If getMyValue() returns an object which contains a method getMySubValue(),
	 *   then field 'MyValue.MySubValue' will return that method call result.

	 * @param mixed field value
	 * @return mixed value at the specified field
	 * @throws TInvalidDataValueException if field or data is invalid
