+## Introduction
+
+Nash improves the error output if you get nil when expecting a hash.
+
+Before: ```undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass```
+
+After:  ```undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass, with argument :foo```
+
+**For example:**
+
+```ruby
+hash = { :foo => { :bar => { :baz => {} }, :quux => nil } }
+hash[:foo][:bar][:baz]  # => {}
+hash[:foo][:quux][:baz] # NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass, with argument :baz
+```
+
+So you know that `hash[:foo][:quux]` must be nil. Previously, you wouldn't know whether `hash[:foo]` or `hash[:foo][:quux]` was nil.
+
+This is especially useful if you're feeling particularly contemptuous towards the law of demeter, or dealing with lots of hash nesting.
+
+## Install
+
+```ruby
+gem install nash
+```
+
+Then require it in an initializer:
+
+```ruby
+require 'nash'
+```
