flattened = flatten_dict(data)
# {"a.b.c": 1, "x": 2}

# Unflatten back to nested structure
nested = unflatten_dict(flattened)
# {"a": {"b": {"c": 1}}, "x": 2}

# Deep merge dictionaries
base = {"a": {"b": 1}, "c": 2}
update = {"a": {"d": 3}, "e": 4}
merged = merge(base, update)
# {"a": {"b": 1, "d": 3}, "c": 2, "e": 4}
