[ruby-core:94446] [Ruby master Bug#16111] Combining default positional and keyword arguments is resulting in a `to_hash` method call

Issue #16111 has been updated by mtelford (Michael Telford).


Ok, the situation with keyword parameters is now making more sense, despite not being ideal. Since ruby 3 should implement a fix (backwards compatible or not) I am happy for this issue to be closed. 

Thanks to those who commented to bring me up to speed :-)

----------------------------------------
Combining default positional and keyword arguments is resulting in a `to_hash` method call when I don't believe it should be. It's affecting some code I am writing. The full details of the behaviour I'm describing can be seen in the attached script.

I would like to know why the method `to_hash` is being called (only in certain circumstances) and if this is a bug to be fixed or desired behaviour (and why?).

Thank in advance!
