How can I initialize a hash and add item to it inside a loop (foreach)?

Hi OOzy

{def $hash = hash('key1', 'value1')
     $keyArr = array('key2', 'key3', 'key4')
     $valueArr = array('value2', 'value3', 'value4')}
{foreach $keyArr as $cnt => $key}
 {set $hash = $hash|merge(hash($key, $valueArr[$cnt]))}
{/foreach}
{$hash|attribute('show')}

Does not look very efficient but it seems to be the only way.
