# NOTE: ActiveSupport defines this method but adds a check for #convert_key.
#       If the method is defined, then it converts the keys with it. However
#       it doesn't look to be supported by all Hash methods, just
#       HashWithIndifferentAccess. I'm not so sure support for this kind of
#       thing is appropriate for Facets.
