Subject: Idiom for creating hash from two arrays

Hello all,

I'm currently using the following code for creating a hash from two arrays, 
where one array contains keys and the other the corresponding values:

  keys = ['one','two','three']
  values = [1,2,3]

  h = Hash[*keys.zip(values).flatten]
  #=> {"three"=>3, "two"=>2, "one"=>1}

Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this? I'm slightly put off
by the many steps involved in my present solution.

Thanks.
