In that case, the syntax which Rails often uses in Ruby might be of interest
to you:

>> def fn(a, b, opthash)
>>   p a
>>   p b
>>   p opthash
>> end
=> nil
>> fn 1, 2, {:a => false}
1
2
{:a=>false}
=> nil
>> fn 1, 2, :a => false, :joker => 92
1
2
{:joker=>92, :a=>false}
=> nil
>>


If you just append hash arguments to the end of a function call, it'll
combine it into a hash and use it as the last parameter.
