This keeps getting thrown around. It's simply not true. https://www.google.com/search?q=%7B**d1%2C+**d2%7D First hit when I do that search is Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2255878/what-does-mean-in-the-expression-dictd1-d2 which, while it's not specifically about that exact syntax, does mention it in the comments on the question. Symbols ARE searchable. In fact, adding the word "python" to the beginning of that search produces a number of very useful hits, including a Reddit thread on combining dictionaries, and PEP 584 itself. Please can people actually test these lines of argument before reiterating them?
