=begin
Many times a hash with uniform keys is needed (or is at least preferable) for a particular usecase. To this end I propose ((%Hash#convert_key%)).

  h = {}
  h.convert_key{ |k| k.to_sym }
  h['a'] = 1
  h.update('b'=>2)
  h #=> {:a=>1, :b=>2}

The idea is similar in concept to ((%#default_proc%)). 

Others solutions to fill this need have been tried and used, but almost exclusively are in the form of a new class. Most notable is Rails HashWithIndifferentAccess. But ((%#convert_key%)) has much greater flexibility since keys can be converted to anything.
