Ah, but the overlap is a feature. Not to mention that by adding a few methods ([], []=, etc.) you can make objects look Array- or Hash-like. As with tie in Perl there's places it makes sense and places it doesn't, of course. See the chapter on "Duck Typing" in the second edition Pickaxe for more discussion.
