I don't see why a corresponance in needed. It's simply a
transformation. I think the real problem lies in the name of the
method proposed. Rather than #to_hash, for instance, in Facets this
method is called #graph or #mash (for "map hash"). Maybe there is a
better name to be had, but it certainly is a useful method to have at
times.
