This makes handling nested structures much easier.
.. note:: ``pillar.get()`` vs ``salt['pillar.get']()``
It should be noted that within templating, the ``pillar`` variable is just
a dictionary. This means that calling ``pillar.get()`` inside of a
template will just use the default dictionary ``.get()`` function which
does not include the extra ``:`` delimeter functionality. It must be
called using the above syntax (``salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz',
'qux')``) to get the salt function, instead of the default dictionary
behavior.
