Inconsistent behavior when mixing optional argument and keyword splat

Description

The following code produces inconsistent behavior:

def foo(x=nil, **kw) 
  x 
end

h = { "a" => 1 }

foo(h)                  # => {"a"=>1} 
foo(h).equal?(h)        # => false
foo(h, y: 1).equal?(h)  # => true

It seems that in this very specific case, foo is returning a copy of h instead of returning h itself. I guess this is an edge case in the keyword extraction process.

Thank you for your time.

With the acceptance of #14183, you now get:

foo(h) 
# => {"a"=>1}

foo(h).equal?(h)
# => true

foo(h, y: 1).equal?(h) 
# => true
