The call syntax part is a mixed bag: on the one hand it is nice to be consistent with the extended possibilities in literals (flattening), but on the other hand there would be small but annoying inconsistencies anyways (e.g. the duplicate kwarg case above).

That inconsistency already exists -- duplicate keys are allowed in dict literals but not calls:

{'a':1, 'a':2} {'a': 2}
