Transform dot-notation-like objects into optimised nested objects

// Fatten turns flat objects
const 😡 = { id: 5, user_id: 14, user_name: 'Jane', payment_provider: 'stripe' };

// Into optimised nested objects
const 😍 = { id: 5, user: { id: 14, name: 'Jane' }, paymentProvider: 'stripe' };

// By doing this
const 🤯 = fatten(😡, { separator: '_' });
