Description

Currently, argument types of def foo(...) is (*untyped), but it will be changed to (*untyped, **untyped **) if ruby/ruby#6818 is merged.

The current behavior depends on the implementation details of ..., which uses ruby2_keywords internally, and I believe (*untyped, **untyped) is right.

@soutaro What do you think?

Research direction

The issue names no file or test. Start by locating the handling of def foo(...) and inspect how its argument types are represented, then compare the current (*untyped) result with the expected (*untyped, **untyped) behavior after ruby/ruby#6818. Done means the signature reflects the intended argument types and has regression coverage.
