Why is that correct?  The PEP mentions overriding.  Right now each dict overrides values from the last silently, which I think makes sense.  The keyword arguments you pass in override keys from previous dicts (also good I think).  The problem is that you can pass multiple duplicate keyword arguments, and the one below, which I think should succeed.
