This hash wasn't a params hash - it was coming directly from a model, and then
exposed to the view by Rails. The problem is that Rails converts hashes
assigned to views into HashWithIndifferentAccess, which do not treat Symbols
and Strings indifferently when comparing complete hashes, even though they let
you access the keys indifferently. in Katrina's case, this would pass:
assigns(:summary)[:total].should eq(139)
assigns(:summary)[:submitted].should eq(97)
assigns(:summary)[:published].should eq(82)
assigns(:summary)[:removed].should eq(12)
Make sense?
