+This function joins each key of a hash to that key's corresponding value with a
+separator. Keys and values are cast to strings. The return value is an array in
+which each element is one joined key/value pair.
+
+*Examples:*
+
+    join_keys_to_values({'a'=>1,'b'=>2}, " is ")
+
+Would result in: ["a is 1","b is 2"]
