When working with
serializeIntoHash
if you want to modify the hash with a full set of other results, you are forced to either overwrite each individual key OR use something like_.extend
to modify thehash
argument in place using pass by reference.This is a common use case when creating adapters for APIs that do not have a rootKey (though strongly discouraged).
I think this addition (or something to the effect should be added to make sure that this functionality is documented.
