Why "in many cases"? I wrote hundreads of programs which are working fine 
and which are maintained only by me. (But they would be very easy to 
maintain by other people if it would be necessary).
So in that case, why to be forced to use a strict indentation?

Exactly, I am not talking about a complex task that can be done in many ways 
in all programming languages.
I am talking about a simple way of creating a hash/dict from an array, which 
is so simple that there should be really a single way to do it, or very few.
