[ruby-core:94714] [Ruby master Bug#11068] unable to ommit an optional keyarg if the previous arg is an optional hash

Issue #11068 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Closed

With the acceptance of #14183, this code now emits warnings as the behavior will change in Ruby 3:

```ruby
foo({b: 1})
# (irb):53: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter
# (irb):51: warning: for `foo' defined here
# ArgumentError (unknown keyword: :b)
```

In Ruby 3, you will not get a warning, and the code will work as expected.  To get the Ruby 3 behavior currently, you can do:

```ruby
foo({b: 1}, **(;{}))
# => [{:b=>1}, nil]
```
