when i use a partial render with a collection and a hash of locals, i  
don’t get the locals.  
\<%= render :partial =\> ‘/users/user’, :collection =\> @users, :locals  
=\> {:test\_value =\> true} %\>  
isn’t it possible to use both collection and locals with a render?

This works fine for me. When you access the locals, you’re just using  
eg

\<%= test\_value %\>

rather than

\<%= locals[:test\_value] %\>

right?
