Instance Method Details
#rmerge(other_hash) ⇒ Object
Recursive version of Hash#merge
Compared with Hash#merge!, this method supports nested hashes. When both +hsh+ and +other_hash+ contains an entry with the same key, it merges and returns the values from both arrays.
Compared with Hash#merge, this method provides a different approch for merging nasted hashes. If the value of a given key is an Hash and both +other_hash+ abd +hsh includes the same key, the value is merged instead replaced with +other_hash+ value.
Simply using Hash#merge would return

#rmerge!(other_hash) ⇒ Object
Recursive version of Hash#merge!
Adds the contents of +other_hash+ to +hsh+, merging entries in +hsh+ with duplicate keys with those from +other_hash+.
