Although I consider dict(**kwds) as one of the few unfortunate design choices in python since it prevents the future addition of useful keyword arguments (e.g a default value or an orderby function), I've been finding myself lately using it sometimes instead of dict literals, for no particular reason. Is there any coding style consensus on when should dict literals be preferred over dict(**kwds) and vice versa ?
