Convert an Anonymous type object to a dictionary

I wanted to write a method that would take an anonymous object and have it spit out key,value pairs from the properties defined on that anonymous object.

For example:

new {j="j1",k="k1"}

Should create a dictionary with 2 keys (j,k) which have corresponding values of (j1,k1).

A while back I had written about an helper method that would convert all the properties on an object into a dictionary: http://blog.aggregatedintelligence.com/2013/01/convert-objects-property-values-to.html

It turns out that the same method can be used even for anonymous types!
