# Usually key value pairs are handled something like this:
#
#   h = {}
#   h[:boy] = 'John'
#   h[:girl] = 'Mary'
#   h[:boy]  # => 'John'
#   h[:girl] # => 'Mary'
#
# Using <tt>OrderedOptions</tt>, the above code could be reduced to:
#
#   h = ActiveSupport::OrderedOptions.new
#   h.boy = 'John'
#   h.girl = 'Mary'
#   h.boy  # => 'John'
#   h.girl # => 'Mary'
