""" Update a dictionary recursively.
Eases doing so by providing the option to separate the key to be updated by dot characters. If
a key provided does not exist, it will raise an KeyError instead of just updating the
dictionary.
Limitations
Please note that the functionality provided by this method can only be used if the dictionary to
be updated (`data`) does not contain dot characters in its keys.
