 - a dict, which maps strings (as defined above) to any term type
 - a list, which is a consecutive sequence of at least 2 strings or dicts (can be mixed), simply separated by whitespace
 
+Nested lists can be represented using a special dictionnary with a single key, `.`,

   - a value, which is either the second item in case there are only two items, or the list composed of all items starting from the second if there are more than two
 - DICT: if the term is a dict, interpret it as such
 - LIST: if the term is a string or a dict, interpret it as a list composed of that single term. Otherwise, the term is a list, interpret it as a list of terms.
+- NESTED: if the term is a dict with a single key `.`, interpret it as the term associated to that key
