Subject: [ruby-core:80127] [Ruby trunk Feature#13179][Rejected] Deep Hash	Update Method

Issue #13179 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Feedback to Rejected

It's no difference from #11747. You have to come up with a better name candidate and concrete use-case.

Feature #13179: Deep Hash Update Method

----------------------------------------
I came across a scenario where I needed the ability to update a deeply nested hash (Rails i18n yaml files). This seemed like something that would exist naturally in the DSL of ruby, but I could only find dig() method which only retrieves values if they exist. 24 hours later I wrote a update_deep_hash method (I wouldn't wish this type of recursive coding on anyone else within the Ruby community).

Attached is the solution I hacked together. My question is if we can have a Hash.dig() method which reaches into a deep hash can we expand on this to include update methods of similar nature?
