Nothing I can think of, except that I have never wanted such
conversion from array to hash in my 16 year Ruby programming. ;-)

Yeah the usecase somehow eludes me too. Did you mean
{:a => 0, :b => 1, :c =>2 }
by any chance?

True enough. And maybe there never will be. There are many words in
the dictionary I never use too. Still, they have definitions, and if
one were to define Array#to_hash, that would seem like the clear
meaning. (I use #to_h for the more useful conversions).

Thanks,
