Comment(by coke):
I vote against this change.
What about 'does hash'? Should that also be spelled 'does
associativearray'?
What about the internal hash type? PARROT_HASH? Hash_key_type_STRING? etc.
Perl isn't the only language to refer to this type of container as a hash,
so this can't be '''that''' confusing. Is there a particular user group /
language that requested this change, or was this just trying to avoid
trouble down the road?
I could see adding more user-friendly documentation to explain what a hash
is, but not changing a huge portion of our repository and the languages
built on top of parrot to date.
