Incorrect behavior for functions with keyword-only arguments and **kwargs

Bug Report
mypy reports a arg-type error Argument 2 to "send_command" has incompatible type "**Dict[str, object]"; expected "Optional[float]" [arg-type] for a valid function invocation.

To Reproduce

def send_command(name: str, *, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **params: Any):
    print(name, params, timeout)

send_command("Test", **{"p1": "abc"})

mypy Playground

Expected Behavior
The code above should typecheck without any error.

Actual Behavior
I get the following mypy error:

main.py:7: error: Argument 2 to "send_command" has incompatible type "**Dict[str, str]"; expected "Optional[float]"  [arg-type]

Inizia eseguendo il riproduttore segnalato di Python 3.11 in main.py con mypy 1.3.0 e confronta la diagnostica con il comportamento previsto. Leggi la discussione di typing collegata e la issue correlata #5382 per il contesto; il lavoro è completato quando la chiamata valida keyword-only supera il controllo dei tipi senza un errore arg-type.
