[ruby-core:51274] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7663][Rejected] Unable to invoke a method with `**kwargs` if the receiver doesn't define keyword arguments

Issue #7663 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

Unlike regular argument, empty keyword argument is not equal to empty regular list.

Bug #7663: Unable to invoke a method with `**kwargs` if the receiver doesn't define keyword arguments

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.
