Yes and no. :) Dictionary >> #addAll: expects a "KeyedCollection" as 
argument. Array is a "KeyedCollection" with integer keys.
But one could expect that #addAll: works like #add: which is not the case.
We could change #addAll: to use #associationsDo: instead of 
#keysAndValueesDo: as Nicolas said, but it might break some code.
If you just want to build a Dictionary from an Array of Associations, then 
#newFrom: does what you need (it uses the #associationsDo: trick).
