For some values of hidden :

16:41 grappa:~> qri 'Hash#[]='
--------------------------------------------------------------- Hash#[]=
     hsh[key] = value        => value
     hsh.store(key, value)   => value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Element Assignment---Associates the value given by value with the
     key given by key. key should not have its value changed while it
     is in use as a key (a String passed as a key will be duplicated
     and frozen).

Assignments: telling a variable what it stands for, and/or what value(s)
it should have is coercive and paternalistic: variables should be free
to choose their own names and value-sets from a range of non-sexist,
non-racist options.   (Tanuki in the SDM, on politically-correct coding)
