It may be surprising that `for x in *a, *b:` behave differently from `for x in (*a, *b):`.
It is idiomatic to create a list of keys and iterate it if you want to modify the dict during iterating:
for key in list(d):
# modify d
This can be written in a form
for key in [*d]:
# modify d
or
for key in (*d,):
# modify d
(although the latter variant is slightly slower).
