Personally my favourite potential outcome from all this would be allowing
the `**` mode separator in both dicts and calls, so you could write:
d = {**, telephone, name}
func(**d)
or
func(**, telephone, name)
Also I think Dominik has made an excellent point that this would only be
needed if there were no kwargs already, so this would also be possible:
func(**kwargs, telephone, name)
assuming that some relevant kwargs exist. Then there isn't even any new
syntax, just a way to interpret something which is currently forbidden.
