Hi,
There are times when I want to store items in a hash, and yet refer
the items
using class/object method syntax.
For example, I may want to do this:
myhash['aaa'] = 'bbb'
and then be able to refer to the 'aaa' element either as
myhash['aaa']
--or--
myhash.aaa
I started writing my own class to do this, but I wanted to check to
see if anyone had
already done so.
I just read about this in a blog yesterday:
http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2007/03/camping_hashwithreallyindiffer.html
The camping framework has a HashWithIndifferentAccess which does this.
Not to be confused with the class HashWithIndifferentAccess in Rails
(actually in ActiveSupport)
