[issue3219] repeated keyword arguments

[ganges master]

New submission from ganges master <gangesmaster at users.sourceforge.net>:

under python 2.5 (and possibly 2.6 beta), the following code runs
successfully:

>>> def f(**kwargs):
...     print kwargs
...
>>> f(a=5,b=7,a=8)
{'a': 8, 'b': 7}

while in python 2.4, it fails as expected (complaining that "a" is given
twice")
