Hash#>

[A, B] (::Hash[A, B]) -> bool
self > other_hash → true or false

Returns true if the entries of self are a proper superset of the entries of other_hash, false otherwise:

Example
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h > {foo: 0, bar: 1}         # => true   # Proper superset.
h > {bar: 1, foo: 0}         # => true   # Order may differ.
h > h                        # => false  # Not a proper superset.
h > {baz: 2, bar: 1, foo: 0} # => false  # Not a proper superset.
h > {foo: 0, bar: 1}         # => false  # Different key.
h > {foo: 0, bar: 1}         # => false  # Different value.

See Hash Inclusion.

Raises TypeError if other_hash is not a hash and cannot be converted to a hash.
