The easiest way I could find was requires you to invert the order of your
tuples. But it turns out in an even more logical way, IMO:
julia> t = (("a", 1), ("b", 2))
(("a",1),("b",2))
julia> Dict(zip(t...)...)
["b"=>2,"a"=>1]
zip <http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/stdlib/base/#Base.zip> is one of
my favourite functions, and it should be a familiar concept coming from
python.
