    ## Constuct an array of hashes that will allow the user, using Liquid, to
    ## iterate through the keys of _kv_hash_ and be able to iterate through the
    ## elements under each key.
    ##
    ## Example:
    ##   categories = { 'Ruby' => [<Post>, <Post>] }
    ##   make_iterable(categories, :index => 'name', :items => 'posts')
    ## Will allow the user to iterate through all categories and then iterate
    ## though each post in the current category like so:
    ##   {% for category in site.categories %}
    ##     h1. {{ category.name }}
    ##     <ul>
    ##       {% for post in category.posts %}
    ##         <li>{{ post.title }}</li>
    ##       {% endfor %}
    ##       </ul>
    ##   {% endfor %}
    ##
    ## Returns [ {<index> => <kv_hash_key>, <items> => kv_hash[<kv_hash_key>]}, ... ]
