UnopinionatedHashFromXml
=====================================================================

Installation:

  ./script/plugin install git://github.com/skinandbones/unopinionated_hash_from_xml.git

Usage:

  Hash.from_xml(xml, :unrename_keys => false)

Description:

  Adds an option to Hash#from_xml to allow you to bypass automatic hash
  key "unrenaming".  As of Rails 2.3, Hash#from_xml will sanitize the
  XML node names when it creates the keys for the newly formed hash.
  For example, an XML node with the name "fontName" will have the key
  "font_name" in the resulting hash.

  This plugin adds an optional parameter to Hash#from_xml to get the
  pre-Rails 2.3 behavior where keys are not renamed.  

Example:

>> xml = <<-END
  <doc>
    <titleSize>20</titleSize>
    <bodySize>10</bodySize>
    <footer-size>10</footer-size>
    <title>Stuff</title>
    <TopLevel>
      <middle-level-one>
        <bottom>1</bottom>
      </middle-level-one>
      <middleLevelTwo>
        <Bottom>2</Bottom>
      </middleLevelTwo>
    </TopLevel>
  </doc>
END

>> pp Hash.from_xml(xml)
{"doc"=>
  {"body_size"=>"10",
   "title"=>"Stuff",
   "title_size"=>"20",
   "top_level"=>
    {"middle_level_two"=>{"bottom"=>"2"}, "middle_level_one"=>{"bottom"=>"1"}},
   "footer_size"=>"10"}}


>> pp Hash.from_xml(xml, :unrename_keys => false)
{"doc"=>
  {"footer-size"=>"10",
   "title"=>"Stuff",
   "titleSize"=>"20",
   "bodySize"=>"10",
   "TopLevel"=>
    {"middleLevelTwo"=>{"Bottom"=>"2"}, "middle-level-one"=>{"bottom"=>"1"}}}}
