DESCRIPTION
Among Ruby Facets most common additions were an assortment of Hash-like
classes. To better support this collection of libraries it was deemed
prudent to create a separate project specifically for them. Hence the
“Facets” Hashery.
Included in this collection are the widely used OrderedHash, the related
but more featured Dictionary class, a number of open classes,
similar to the standard OpenStruct, plus a number of other variations on
the standard Hash and a few other useful bits. See the API documentation
for a complete rundown.
