eval output variables always fully namespaced

[zerog2k]

eval always namespaces the variable names, regardless of jmespath selection scope

bash-3.2$ cat test.yml
foo:
  bar:
    baz: "something"
bash-3.2$ python3 -m niet . test.yml 
foo:
  bar:
    baz: something

bash-3.2$ python3 -m niet . test.yml -f eval
foo__bar__baz="something"
bash-3.2$ python3 -m niet .foo.bar test.yml
baz: something

bash-3.2$ python3 -m niet .foo.bar test.yml -f eval
foo_bar__baz="something"
bash-3.2$ 

i.e. expected output for:

python3 -m niet .foo.bar test.yml -f eval

would be

baz="something"

[zerog2k]

a workaround is to output as flat yaml, and pipe back to niet:

$ niet .foo.bar test.yml | niet . -f eval
baz="something"

Hello,

Thanks to have reported this issue.
I'll try to check why this happen.

I agree that, from a functional point of view, the variable name should be related to the given scope.
