I'm not quite following. Perhaps a bit more detail about your data structure would be helpful. If I were setting up an options hash then I would use option names as the keys (e.g. 'XX:NewRatio') and option values as the values (e.g. 3). If you were doing it that way, however, then you couldn't express different values for the same option in your hash, so you couldn't have the same option expressed twice.
