Is it that much worse than, for instance:

  kvPairs.reduce((acc, [k,v]) => ({...acc, [k]: v}), {})

(Which obviously has nothing to do with the K-Snippet but is the first thing that came to my mind that's equally as symbol-heavy)

Yes. I don't know what language that is, but I know what it means: take some key-value pairs, and reduce them with an accumulator, and make a new dictionary with the items from the accumulator, plus another entry mapping a list of the key to a value, starting with {}.

Alternatively:

  mut acc = {}
  for k, v in kvPairs {
    acc[[k]] = v;
  }
  acc

Am I much wrong?

Huh, no you're exactly right. (It's javascript, btw)
