Research direction

The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing dict(a=1, b=2), dict(a, b=2), and dict(a, **b) in Transcrypt, then trace how dict constructor arguments are handled; done means all three forms compile and preserve the expected Python behavior in the generated JavaScript.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

STATE: under consideration

It does not allow dict(a=1, b=2) which I can live without, but it also does not allow dict(a, b=2) and dict(a, **b) which is unfortunate.
