is there a method to move 'up' a Hash tree in ruby?
dat = {
    'building' => {'street' => 'High Street 10', 'people' =>[Person, Person]}
}

def info with_root = false
      with_root ? dat : dat['building']
    end #info

addr = {'street' => 'High Street 10', 'people' =>[Person, Person]}
 dat1 = {'building' => addr}
 dat2 = {'zip'=>55117, 'electricBillID'=>11223344, 'address' => addr
