CanJS models: attr function and nested data

Question

In canJS I can set a model property with person.attr('name', 'John Doe');, but sometimes that property contains nested data, so I need to do the following:

var address = person.attr('address');
// Update country
address.country = 'USA'; 
person.attr('address', address);

Is there a shorter solution for this in canJS?

Thank you! Good point, I was reading the old documentation and I didn't find it there. – Tamás Pap Dec 17 '12 at 11:19
