So... I know about the :locals => { :var1 => @rawr, :var2 => @hello } syntax for partials
but is there a way for me to pass both @rawr and @hello to the partial, so that i don't need to use var1 and var2?

A:
You can do :locals => { :rawr => @rawr, :hello => @hello } and then the variables will be available within the partial as rawr and hello.

You can't have them. What's the problem with referring to `rawr` and `hello` in your partial?

A:
You know, you could just use @rawr and @hello ... and NOT pass any variables.

In that case, is there ever a reason to pass locals instead of just using the existing variables?

Yeah, if you dont have an instance variable already, or you might want to pass a variation on that instance variable, or loads of other reasons.The key is to not set instance variables unnecessarily and use local variables wherever possible to avoid trampling of variable names.
