Retrieve a set of properties indicated by the given selectors from an object.
Use `Array.prototype.map()` for each selector, `String.prototype.replace()` to replace square brackets with dots, `String.prototype.split('.')` to split each selector, `Array.prototype.filter()` to remove empty values and `Array.prototype.reduce()` to get the value indicated by it.
```js
const get = (from, ...selectors) =>
[...selectors].map(s =>
s
.replace(/\[([^\[\]]*)\]/g, '.$1.')
.split('.')
.filter(t => t !== '')
.reduce((prev, cur) => prev && prev[cur], from)
);
```
```js
const obj = { selector: { to: { val: 'val to select' } }, target: [1, 2, { a: 'test' }] };
get(obj, 'selector.to.val', 'target[0]', 'target[2].a'); // ['val to select', 1, 'test']
```
