That goes without mentioning.
The question I wanted to raise was, if $H() shouldn't be expected to
reliably return Hash objects or undefined/exception.
If the answer is Hashes (as it was), it would still be have to figured
out, how to do that for arbitrary input.
E.g.
$H(['a','b']) => #<Hash{'0':'a', '1':'b'};
$H(1) => #<Hash{'0':1}, or the like
Kind regards
