 * Builds a new Record using the given array as keys and choosing a value for

 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * import { associateWith } from "@std/collections/associate_with";
 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert/assert_equals";
 *
 * const names = ["Kim", "Lara", "Jonathan"];
 * const namesToLength = associateWith(names, (it) => it.length);
 *
 * assertEquals(namesToLength, {
 *   "Kim": 3,
 *   "Lara": 4,
 *   "Jonathan": 8,
 * });
