Well, these are commonly used words which we quote - because we really
know it's not exact (like wave/particle duality).  So does the exact
words matter?  I tend to call them the 'array' and the 'map' parts
personally. 'Hash' always seemed a rather specific way of talking
about the general concept of maps. So we agree ;)
