Bug #7663: Unable to invoke a method with `**kwargs` if the receiver doesn't define keyword arguments
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7663

This works:

  def hello
    puts "hello"
  end

  hello(*[])

This does not:

  def hello
    puts "hello"
  end

  hello(**{})

I may be misunderstanding the idea behind the keyword arguments, but I would expect them to behave similarly to regular arguments when used with splat.
