class Hash
  def <<(arg)
    self.merge!(arg)
  end
end

Eg,

thing  
  :foo 1,
}

thing << {
  :bar 2,
   :baz 3,
}

thing #{:foo
, :bar, :baz }


Of course it overwrites existing keys. I think it's a little sexier than

thing.merge!({
   :bar 2,
   :baz 3,
})

or
 thing[:bar]  
thing[:baz]  


Is it safe to use this? Is there some good reason why << is not already
defined for Hash?
