def key
  size == 2 or raise 'array must contain exactly two elements'
  first
end

#to_proc ⇒ Object

A syntactic hack to get hash values. xs.map(&:name) works when xs is an array of objects, each with a #name method. (built into ruby) xs.map(&) works when xs is an array of hashes, each with a :name key. xs.map(&) works when xs is an array of hashes, each with a ‘name’ key.
