+### MethodOverridingInitializer
+
+The MethodOverridingInitializer extension will override hash methods if you pass in a normal hash to the constructor. It aliases any overridden method with two leading underscores. To include only this initializing functionality, you can include the single module `Hashie::Extensions::MethodOverridingInitializer`.
+
+```ruby
+class MyHash < Hash

+
 ### IndifferentAccess
 
-This extension can be mixed in to instantly give you indifferent access to your Hash subclass. This works just like the params hash in Rails and other frameworks where whether you provide symbols or strings to access keys, you will get the same results.
+This extension can be mixed in to your Hash subclass to allow you to use Strings or Symbols interchangeably as keys; similar to the `params` hash in Rails.
 
-A unique feature of Hashie's IndifferentAccess mixin is that it will inject itself recursively into subhashes *without* reinitializing the hash in question. This means you can safely merge together indifferent and non-indifferent hashes arbitrarily deeply without worrying about whether you'll be able to `hash[:other][:another]` properly.
+In addition, IndifferentAccess will also inject itself into sub-hashes so they behave the same.
+
+```ruby
+class MyHash < Hash
+  include Hashie::Extensions::MergeInitializer
+  include Hashie::Extensions::IndifferentAccess
+end
+
+myhash = MyHash.new(:cat => 'meow', 'dog' => 'woof')
+myhash['cat'] # => "meow"
+myhash[:cat]  # => "meow"
+myhash[:dog]  # => "woof"
+myhash['dog'] # => "woof"
+
+# Auto-Injecting into sub-hashes.
+myhash['fishes'] = {}
+myhash['fishes'].class # => Hash
+myhash['fishes'][:food] = 'flakes'
+myhash['fishes']['food'] # => "flakes"
+```
+
+To get back a normal, not-indifferent Hash, you can use `#to_hash` on the indifferent hash. It exports the keys as strings, not symbols:
+
+```ruby
+myhash = MyHash.new
+myhash["foo"] = "bar"
+myhash[:foo]  #=> "bar"
+
+normal_hash = myhash.to_hash
+myhash["foo"]  #=> "bar"

-Mash allows you also to transform any files into a Mash objects.
+Since Mash gives you the ability to set arbitrary keys that then act as methods, Hashie logs when there is a conflict between a key and a pre-existing method. You can set the logger that this logs message to via the global Hashie logger:
+
+```ruby
+Hashie.logger = Rails.logger
+```
+
+You can also disable the logging in subclasses of Mash:
+
+```ruby
+class Response < Hashie::Mash
+  disable_warnings
+end
+```
 
-### Example:
+The default is to disable logging for all methods that conflict. If you would like to only disable the logging for specific methods, you can include an array of method keys:
+
+```ruby
+class Response < Hashie::Mash
+  disable_warnings :zip, :zap
+end
+```
+
+This behavior is cumulative. The examples above and below behave identically.
+
+```ruby
+class Response < Hashie::Mash
+  disable_warnings :zip
+  disable_warnings :zap
+end
+```
+
+Disable warnings will honor the last `disable_warnings` call. Calling without parameters will override the ignored methods list, and calling with parameters will create a new ignored methods list. This includes child classes that inherit from a class that disables warnings.
+
+```ruby
+class Message < Hashie::Mash
+  disable_warnings :zip, :zap
+  disable_warnings
+end
+
+# No errors will be logged
+Message.new(merge: 'true', compact: true)

+  disable_warnings :zip, :zap
+end
+
+# 2 errors will be logged
+Response.new(merge: 'true', compact: true, zip: '90210', zap: 'electric')
+```
+
+If you would like to create an anonymous subclass of a Hashie::Mash with key conflict warnings disabled:
+
+```ruby
+Hashie::Mash.quiet.new(zip: '90210', compact: true) # no errors logged
+Hashie::Mash.quiet(:zip).new(zip: '90210', compact: true) # error logged for compact
+```
+
+_How does the wrapping of Mash sub-Hashes work?_
+
+Mash duplicates any sub-Hashes that you add to it and wraps them in a Mash. This allows for infinite chaining of nested Hashes within a Mash without modifying the object(s) that are passed into the Mash. When you subclass Mash, the subclass wraps any sub-Hashes in its own class. This preserves any extensions that you mixed into the Mash subclass and allows them to work within the sub-Hashes, in addition to the main containing Mash.
+
+```ruby
+mash = Hashie::Mash.new(name: "Hashie", dependencies: { rake: "< 11", rspec: "~> 3.0" })
+mash.dependencies.class #=> Hashie::Mash
+
+class MyGem < Hashie::Mash; end
+my_gem = MyGem.new(name: "Hashie", dependencies: { rake: "< 11", rspec: "~> 3.0" })
+my_gem.dependencies.class #=> MyGem
+```
+
+_How does Mash handle key types which cannot be symbolized?_
+
+Mash preserves keys which cannot be converted *directly* to both a string and a symbol, such as numeric keys. Since Mash is conceived to provide psuedo-object functionality, handling keys which cannot represent a method call falls outside its scope of value.
+
+```ruby
+Hashie::Mash.new('1' => 'one string', :'1' => 'one sym', 1 => 'one num')
+# => {"1"=>"one sym", 1=>"one num"}
+```
+
+The symbol key `:'1'` is converted the string `'1'` to support indifferent access and consequently its value `'one sym'` will override the previously set `'one string'`. However, the subsequent key of `1` cannot directly convert to a symbol and therefore **not** converted to the string `'1'` that would otherwise override the previously set value of `'one sym'`.
+
+_What else can Mash do?_
+
+Mash allows you also to transform any files into a Mash objects.

+
+### KeepOriginalKeys
+
+This extension can be mixed into a Mash to keep the form of any keys passed directly into the Mash. By default, Mash converts symbol keys to strings to give indifferent access. This extension still allows indifferent access, but keeps the form of the keys to eliminate confusion when you're not expecting the keys to change.
+
+```ruby
+class KeepingMash < ::Hashie::Mash
+  include Hashie::Extensions::Mash::KeepOriginalKeys
+end
+
+mash = KeepingMash.new(:symbol_key => :symbol, 'string_key' => 'string')
+mash.to_hash == { :symbol_key => :symbol, 'string_key' => 'string' }  #=> true

+mash.string_key  #=> 'string'
+mash['string_key']  #=> 'string'
+mash[:string_key]  #=> 'string'
+```
+
+### PermissiveRespondTo
+
+By default, Mash only states that it responds to built-in methods, affixed methods (e.g. setters, underbangs, etc.), and keys that it currently contains. That means it won't state that it responds to a getter for an unset key, as in the following example:
+
+```ruby
+mash = Hashie::Mash.new(a: 1)
+mash.respond_to? :b  #=> false
+```
+
+This means that by default Mash is not a perfect match for use with a SimpleDelegator since the delegator will not forward messages for unset keys to the Mash even though it can handle them.
+
+In order to have a SimpleDelegator-compatible Mash, you can use the `PermissiveRespondTo` extension to make Mash respond to anything.
+
+```ruby
+class PermissiveMash < Hashie::Mash
+  include Hashie::Extensions::Mash::PermissiveRespondTo
+end
+
+mash = PermissiveMash.new(a: 1)
+mash.respond_to? :b  #=> true
+```

+### SymbolizeKeys
+
+This extension can be mixed into a Mash to change the default behavior of converting keys to strings. After mixing this extension into a Mash, the Mash will convert all string keys to symbols. It can be useful to use with keywords argument, which required symbol keys.
+
+```ruby
+class SymbolizedMash < ::Hashie::Mash
+  include Hashie::Extensions::Mash::SymbolizeKeys
+end
+
+symbol_mash = SymbolizedMash.new
+symbol_mash['test'] = 'value'
+symbol_mash.test  #=> 'value'
+symbol_mash.to_h  #=> {test: 'value'}
+
+def example(test:)
+  puts test
+end
+
+example(symbol_mash) #=> value
+```
+
+There is a major benefit and coupled with a major trade-off to this decision (at least on older Rubies). As a benefit, by using symbols as keys, you will be able to use the implicit conversion of a Mash via the `#to_hash` method to destructure (or splat) the contents of a Mash out to a block. This can be handy for doing iterations through the Mash's keys and values, as follows:
+
+```ruby
+symbol_mash = SymbolizedMash.new(id: 123, name: 'Rey')
+symbol_mash.each do |key, value|
+  # key is :id, then :name
+  # value is 123, then 'Rey'
+end
+```
+
+However, on Rubies less than 2.0, this means that every key you send to the Mash will generate a symbol. Since symbols are not garbage-collected on older versions of Ruby, this can cause a slow memory leak when using a symbolized Mash with data generated from user input.
+
+### DefineAccessors
+
+This extension can be mixed into a Mash so it makes it behave like `OpenStruct`. It reduces the overhead of `method_missing?` magic by lazily defining field accessors when they're requested.
+
+```ruby
+class MyHash < ::Hashie::Mash
+  include Hashie::Extensions::Mash::DefineAccessors
+end
+
+mash = MyHash.new
+MyHash.method_defined?(:foo=) #=> false
+mash.foo = 123
+MyHash.method_defined?(:foo=) #=> true
+
+MyHash.method_defined?(:foo) #=> false
+mash.foo #=> 123
+MyHash.method_defined?(:foo) #=> true
+```
+
+You can also extend the existing mash without defining a class:
+
+```ruby
+mash = ::Hashie::Mash.new.with_accessors!
+```
+
 ## Dash
 
 Dash is an extended Hash that has a discrete set of defined properties and only those properties may be set on the hash. Additionally, you can set defaults for each property. You can also flag a property as required. Required properties will raise an exception if unset. Another option is message for required properties, which allow you to add custom messages for required property.
 
 You can also conditionally require certain properties by passing a Proc or Symbol. If a Proc is provided, it will be run in the context of the Dash instance. If a Symbol is provided, the value returned for the property or method of the same name will be evaluated. The property will be required if the result of the conditional is truthy.

-### Dash Extension: PropertyTranslation
+If you would like to update a Dash and use any default values set in the case of a `nil` value, use `#update_attributes!`.
+
+```ruby
+class WithDefaults < Hashie::Dash
+  property :description, default: 'none'
+end
+
+dash = WithDefaults.new

+
+dash.description = 'Only slightly less known is ...'
+dash.update_attributes!(description: nil)
+dash.description  #=> 'none'
+```
+
+### Potential Gotchas
+
+Because Dashes are subclasses of the built-in Ruby Hash class, the double-splat operator takes the Dash as-is without any conversion. This can lead to strange behavior when you use the double-splat operator on a Dash as the first part of a keyword list or built Hash. For example:
+
+```ruby
+class Foo < Hashie::Dash
+  property :bar
+end
+
+foo = Foo.new(bar: 'baz')      #=> {:bar=>"baz"}
+qux = { **foo, quux: 'corge' } #=> {:bar=> "baz", :quux=>"corge"}
+qux.is_a?(Foo)                 #=> true
+qux[:quux]
+#=> raise NoMethodError, "The property 'quux' is not defined for Foo."
+qux.key?(:quux) #=> true
+```
+
+You can work around this problem in two ways:
+
+1. Call `#to_h` on the resulting object to convert it into a Hash.
+2. Use the double-splat operator on the Dash as the last argument in the Hash literal. This will cause the resulting object to be a Hash instead of a Dash, thereby circumventing the problem.
+
+```ruby
+qux = { **foo, quux: 'corge' }.to_h #=> {:bar=> "baz", :quux=>"corge"}
+qux.is_a?(Hash)                     #=> true
+qux[:quux]                          #=> "corge"
+
+qux = { quux: 'corge', **foo } #=> {:quux=>"corge", :bar=> "baz"}
+qux.is_a?(Hash)                #=> true

+```
