For 2.2.1 and whatever version Andreas is running, **whatever is an
exception and CANNOT be followed by a comma in either def or call,
just as I said.  I tested before writing.   (Did you?  Can you test
below on 2.3?)

>>> def f(**d):
...   for i,v in d.items(): print i, v
...
>>> b={'one':1, 'two':2}
>>> f(**b)
two 2
one 1
>>> f(**b,)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    f(**b,)
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

>>> def f2(**d,): pass
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    def f2(**d,): pass
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

# On the original fixed-pitch font screen, both arrows point at
offending comma.

Can someone verify this for 2.3?  If so, there is a bug in either doc
or interpreter.
