+h1. Metash
+
+Metash is a Ruby library that allow what I call "Meta Hashes".
+
+A Metash is a kind of hash that allows method chaining to get the values
+using a bit of method_missing magic. This gives a nice interface for Hashes.
+
+h2. Example
+
+<pre><code>  c = Metash.new :key1 => "value1", :nested => {:key2 => "value2"}
+  c.key1                        # => "value1"
+  c.nested.key2                 # => "value2"
+  c.nested.key2 "Another value"
+  c.nested.key2                 # => "Another value"
+  c.key3 "value3"               # c.key3 # => "value3"
+  c.key4                        # => nil
+</code></pre>
