function call always assigns values to all parameters mentioned in the parameter
list, either from position arguments, from keyword arguments, or from default
values. If the form "``*identifier``" is present, it is initialized to a tuple
receiving any excess positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple. If
the form "``**identifier``" is present, it is initialized to a new dictionary
receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new empty dictionary.
Parameters after "``*``" or "``*identifier``" are keyword-only parameters and
may only be passed used keyword arguments.
receiving any excess positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple.
If the form "``**identifier``" is present, it is initialized to a new
ordered mapping receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a
new empty mapping of the same type. Parameters after "``*``" or
"``*identifier``" are keyword-only parameters and may only be passed
used keyword arguments.
