dictionary merge

[Skaperen]

i did not know it is possible to "merge" 2 or more keyword args when using **. that is why i wondered if that dictionary object reference was passed as the reference in the function that is also using **. so, it must be true that for a function call with keyword args, all of them are collected into a new dictionary for a function that uses ** and a reference to that new dictionary is stored in that function instance's local name space as the name after the ** in the def.
