??? Huh? I see you are newbie, as you use some kind of terminology that
I don't understand. :) List items doesn't have a name. They have an
integer index. Anyway, if what you really want is the read a subvariable
whose name contains dot (or whatever special character), then here is
how to do it:

  foo["x.y.z"]

This will get the subvariable of "foo", which is called x.y.z.
