How to avoid dotted subtables entirely?

[fosskers]

Hi there. Currently naive calls to to_string_pretty yield output like:

[[foo]]
a = "a"

[foo.bar]
b = "b"

but I'd like it to output:

[[foo]]
a = "a"
bar = { b = "b" }

How can I accomplish this? I spent some time experimenting with DocumentMut but was unsuccessful. set_dotted seems like it might be what I want, but in practice it didn't appear to be. Am I overlooking something obvious?

Thank you.

to_string_pretty errs on the side of making Tables when what you want is an InlineTable which is the default in some circumstances. To say much more, I'd need more context.

I see that Table and InlineTable can be freely converted into one another. I'll try that.
