Thanks for commenting on this old request.

You might want to read the thread [ruby-core:33683] on Akira's
proposal for Enumerable#categorize and my alternative proposal
Enumerable#associate which would act as a more versatile
Enumerable#to_hash. I've meant to post a tweaked proposition for too
long, so let's hope I can revitalize the thread today.

Your input could have more impact on that thread than on this one.
Hopefully we can come up with a neat functionality for the next
version of Ruby.
