The dict constructor can receive either a sequence or a mapping, so if
I write this:

        def func(a, b, dict(c)):

what will I get?  Probably I would want the equivalent of:

        def func(a, b, **c):

but you seem to be saying that I would actually get the equivalent of this:

        def func(a, b, *c):
            c = dict(c)

Cheers,
Ian
