Description

I am using code that transfers the following method call, but found that the behavior has changed since CRuby 3.3.

receiver_value = Set.new
method_name = :merge
args = [1]
kwargs = {}
block = nil
receiver_value.__send__(method_name, *args, **kwargs, &block)
# => no keywords accepted (ArgumentError)

Upon investigation, I found that the behavior of calling a method using **nil has changed starting from version 3.3.

Is this change intentional?
