This question came up a while back where I helped someone with yet another
interpretation:

http://blog.jcoglan.com/2008/09/08/enumerableto_hash-for-unix-style-flags-in-ruby-methods/

The core problem with Hash#to_a and any possible Enumerable#to_h is it's not
intuitively obvious what either should do, though Hash#to_a is possibly
slightly narrower in scope. There are any number of ways you might want to
map one to the other, and that's really what map() and inject() are for.
