Update expressions doc to clarify what's observed

[arthurevans]

We observe only the top-level identifier, not its properties.

For example, in: {{ { thing1: foo, thing2: bar } }} we observe foo and bar but not the properties of foo and bar.

This may lead to unexpected behavior when using a filter like tokenList, which acts on the object's (unobserved) properties.

• Also we need to add array access to the list of allowable syntax in expression.

For example: thing[field]. In this case, we observe... (fill in the blank).

Do we mention paths are observable if you explicitly watch them in the
observe block?
