Currently, ruby 1.8.6. has the following behavior:
'ruby'[:en] #=> nil
The reason is that the symbol is converted to an integer using
to_int. But this is never useful, and can be a source of obscure bugs
when your variable contains a string instead of an hash.
Wouldn't raising an exception be more appropriate?
