Subject: [ruby-core:87934] [Ruby trunk Bug#14909] Method call with object that has to_hash method crashes (method with splat and keyword arguments)

Issue #14909 has been updated by funny_falcon (Yura Sokolov).


Why your object has `to_hash` method?

Ruby uses long named methods for implicit conversion: `to_str` - if your object should act as a string, `to_int` - if your object should act as an integer, `to_ary` - if your object should act as an array. Looks like same for `to_hash`.

For explicit conversion short names are used: `to_s`, `to_i`, `to_a`, `to_h`.

* ruby -v: ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-darwin17]
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
In a method with a splat method argument followed by a keyword argument, it leads to an `ArgumentError` when calling the method with an object that reacts to `to_hash`


~~~ruby
def my_func(*objects, error_code: 400)
  objects.inspect
end

class Test
  def to_hash
    # an example hash
    { to_hash_key: "to_hash" }
  end
end

my_func(Test.new)
~~~

Observed result: an exception is raised: `in my_func: unknown keyword: to_hash_key (ArgumentError)` 
Expected result: `[#<Test:0x007fc8c9825318>]` is returned by the `my_func` call

It should behave the same when calling with objects that have a `to_hash` method and objects that don't, shouldn't it?
