So, you think there is a limit to the number of method arguments (at 
least in 1.9)?
I came across this problem, when I tried some different approaches to 
convert an array to a hash (inspired by  
http://exposinggotchas.blogspot.com/2011/03/fun-with-ruby-arrays-hashes-and.html).
At least, the splat isn't necessary in this case.
