Rails has a hash of those local variables that should be created
inside a partial (for example if you are rendering a collection then
the current object in that collection is assigned to the appropriate
local variable name). If you supply a hash it uses that (perhaps it
should dup the hash you provide). This shouldn''t have anything todo
with rendering partials from partials
