Hi people,

I often see hashes used as a form of named parameters, with some variations. 
However, I couldn't find the idiom properly explained anywhere.
I'm just missing it? Where is it?

Would anyone like to explain the idiom here? specially, when, why and how it 
is recommended.

It worries me that while it adds clarity at the point of call, it takes it 
away at the function defintion point, so I haven't dare to use it yet.

TIA
