Linkset data: reserve characters for structured data #160

Description

@Yichard

Sooner or later more evolved language will appear in the virtual, like C, Java, or neural AI. LSL will not disappear, though, as a simple language well fit for what it does, and appropriable by beginners or low skill persons. High level language side, it would be awkward to need a special editor for a special breed of C, Java, Python, etc. Developers in these language should be able to work with standard editors for these.

The idea here is that linkset data is the place where the two worlds can communicate with very few added functions. We may get for instance an AI controlling a bot, with LSL scripts managing the in-world functions. The linkset data is a natural place for them to meet.

But higher languages often use structured data. We are not here yet, but the idea of this feature request is not to wait, and as soon as now reserve some characters for structured data types in the linkset data. The dot is the first coming in mind, but there may be others.
