Bug #9722

Failure with multiple keyword arguments
Description
I am running ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin13.0]
Given the following person class:
class Person
attr_reader :name, :age
def initialize name:, age:
@name = name
@age = age
end
end
There are a few cases of unexpected behavior when you instantiate a Person class given the above code.
Failure 1:
person = Person.new(name: "Tom", age: 24)
person.name # expect "Tom"
=> nil
person.age # expect 24
=> 24
Failure 2:
person = Person.new(name: "Tom") # expect ArgumentError missing keyword age
person.name
=> "Tom"
person.age
=> "Tom"
If I were to just give an age keyword argument instantiation would fail as expected.
