is there an easy way to convert NamedArray to Dict

[mandarup]

This is how I am doing this now:

freqdict = Dict(name=> (namedarray)[name] 
                for name in names(namedarray)[1])

Question 1: is this the best way to achieve this

Question 2: Is this even necessary ..

A FreqTable can be multi-dimensional. But if you're interested only in the case of a 1-dim contingency table, you could indeed write

Dict(n::NamedVector) = Dict(name => n[name] for name in names(n, 1))

But I don't really see the point---you can just access the freqtable n in the same way as the constructed Dict.

@davidavdav I needed to feed the dict to another function from another package which wouldn't accept the FreqTable type.

I've added the definition above in the code, so that in future releases this will be available.
