steamroller

Steamroll a nested hash into a single hash delimiting keys by a period.

Sometimes you just want to take

{"a" => {"b" => 3}, "c" => {"d" => 14}}

and turn it into

{"c.d"=>14, "a.b"=>3}

Nicholas Harteau for the name and description
Erik Kastner for helping me re-factor the crap out of it
R.I. Pienaar and MCollective for the initial idea.

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
