I would not change this.
The first just collects each entry and builds an association with the index,
and the second expects a list of assocations.
They have different behaviors if the list does not contains (or does not
only contains) associations:
{ $a -> 1 . $b -> 2. 'not_an_association' } collect:#yourself
as:Dictionary. "works - I would not expect an error"
{ $a -> 1 . $b -> 2. 'not_an_association' } asDictionary "throws an error
- as I would expect it "
