Retrieving a translation whit multiple dots as key does not return a value

[debae]

Whenever i use the following statement in a template - print("myfile.foo.bar") it doesn't print anything, even though the myfile does contain a value for it.
When changing it to print("myfile.foobar") the value does get printed (off course i also changed the key foo.bar to foobar in myfile.js).
Is this the expected behaviour ? Is there an escape character needed for dots after the filename ?
I cannot find anything about this in the documentation...

Do you have more information on the use case? Where does myfile come from? If you can show more of the module code and how the i18n plugin was used, that would be helpful.
