Hash.zipnew ... I quite like the similarity to Hash.new, and the inclusion
of the already familiar zip idea is also a good thing. 

Thinking again about the name 'from_pairs' makes me think that it would
take a single array of pairs and make a hash from them (equivalent to
Hash[*pairs.flatten]).

So, I think I'll take your suggestion!

Thanks.
