That's certainly doable. right now it just accept strings but it could
certainly be changed to also accept a hash.
let's say for a url request function, i can make it support something like
this:
have(arguments,
{ opt:
{ method: 'optional string'
, url: 'string'
, body: 'optional object' }
, callback: 'function'
});
I think that should covers most of the use cases short of implementing
jsonschema (which would be overkill).
But usually I have smaller methods though, will see if this is not too hard
to implement. : )
