Deprecated: will be removed in Ruby 4.5, one version after the removal of the ruby2_keywords mechanism. See bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22205 for the schedule.

Duplicates a given hash and adds a ruby2_keywords flag. This method is not for casual use; debugging, researching, and some truly necessary cases like deserialization of arguments.

Example

h = {k: 1}
h = Hash.ruby2_keywords_hash(h)
def foo(k: 42)
  k
end
foo(*[h]) #=> 1 with neither a warning or an error
