It could be RCR, but I think we still need discussion:

  * "to_hash" is reserved for implicit type conversion (like to_str,
    to_int, etc.), so we need a new name.

  * the source data format is still arguable

      key, value, key, value,...

    or

      [key, value], [key, value],...

  * I'm still not sure if this is a property of Enumerable.

You may want to take look at previous (unfinished) discussion about
"hashify" method.
