Feature: get step by name to return a nested dict.

[guillaume-chevalier]

using apply and return values, getting steps by name may tolerate duplicate names.

This could probably work for setting hyperparameters by passing a string instead of a dict as a type when setting them ? idk, another idea here.

@guillaume-chevalier, is this issue still relevant? I don't think duplicate names are allowed within a pipeline so it seems like this issue is not relevant anymore. Plus I don't like the idea of get_step_by_name returning anything else than a step.

[guillaume-chevalier]

Steps can have duplicate names if they are in different pipelines and that these pipelines are nested. We can't be sure that there is only one retrieved step. Issue still open.
