I agree heavily with this. It would greatly simplify Hashes. If we then 
could also make them yield(value, key) and merge Enumerable#each and 
Enumerable#each_with_index (and propagate that to the other methods like 
#map and so on) Enumerables would really only need to provide #each 
instead of overwriting all the Hash methods. It would contribute to 
consistency and simplicity IMHO, but it is a big change.
