The array generation can be read as:
[ :c => "c", :d => "d" ] # === Array.new( :c => "c", :d => "d" )

Now key => val, key2 => val2 in any method argument is syntactic sugar for a
hash. [ xx ] is syntactic sugar for Array.new( xx ), with xx as the
argument. 

So it all works out, through the layers of sweetness, to be just what you
expected.
