Subject: [ruby-core:96632] [Ruby master Bug#16473] New deprecated warning disallows keyword arguments bypassing

Issue #16473 has been updated by puchuu (Andrew Aladjev).


@jeremyevans0, what will be the right way to bypass keyword arguments?

```ruby
def non_kw(a = {}, **keyword_args)
  puts "non kw #{a}"
  kw **keyword_args
end
```

This variant is wrong with ruby 2, because it provides:

```
non kw {:a=>2}
kw 2
warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated; maybe ** should be added to the call
warning: The called method `non_kw' is defined here
non kw {}
kw 3
non kw {}
kw 1
```

Will it work with ruby 3? Thank you.

Hello. I see that ruby 2.7.0 prints unnecessary deprecated warning during arguments bypassing.

```ruby
def kw(a: 1)
  puts "kw #{a}"
end

def non_kw(a = {}, *args)
  puts "non kw #{a}"
  kw *args
end

non_kw({ :a => 2 }, :a => 2)
non_kw({ :a => 3 })
non_kw
```

The right output is:

```
non kw {:a=>2}
kw 2
non kw {:a=>3}
kw 1
non kw {}
kw 1
```

Ruby 2.7.0 provides deprecated warning:
```ruby
warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated; maybe ** should be added to the call
```

`*args` is bypassing arguments without any conversion. It looks like ruby converts last hash to keywords and than converts it back to hash. I think it is a bug.
