      # A method that can be used to iterate through a Hash value that is
      # structured the way Rails form helper +fields_for+ will create.

      # Example:
      #
      #   # Given the following Hash:
      #   attr = { '0' => { name: 'John' }, '0' => { name: 'Peter' } }
      #

      #   each_nested_hash_for attr do |nested_hash|
      #     name = nested_hash['name']
      #     # Do something with the name, like create multiple Contact
      #     # records
      #   end
