Usage

require 'hash_ish'

# access hash keys with method calls
hash     = { a { b: 'c' } }
hash_ish = HashIsh.new(hash)
hash_ish.a.b       # returns 'c', via method chaining
hash_ish[:a][:b]   # returns 'c', via hash square brackets
hash_ish.fetch(:a) # returns { b: 'c'}, via fetch
hash_ish[:d]       # returns nil, just a like a Hash
hash_ish.d         # raises NoMethodError, doesn't return nil

# set default values
hash     = { a: nil, b: { c: false }, d: { e: 'lol' } }
defaults = { a: 123, b: { c: true  }, d: { e: 'ಠ_ಠ' } }
hash_ish = HashIsh.new(hash, defaults)
hash_ish.a   # returns 123,  overrides falsey nil
hash_ish.b.c # returns true, overrides falsey false
hash_ish.d.e # returns 'lol', not overriden due to 'lol' being truthy
