class Hash

  # Like to_ostruct but recusively objectifies all hash elements as well.

  #
  # The +exclude+ parameter is used internally to prevent infinite
  # recursion and is not intended to be utilized by the end-user.
  # But for more advance use, if there is a particular subhash you
  # would like to prevent from being converted to an OpoenStruct
  # then include it in the +exclude+ hash referencing itself. Eg.
  #
  #     h = { 'a' => { 'b' => 1 } }
  #     o = h.to_ostruct_recurse( { h['a'] => h['a'] } )
  #     o.a['b']  #=> 1
  #
