Julia 1.11.1 Bug: splatting collect(kwargs) into an array can crash julia if kwargs are empty #56628
Description
According to my tests splatting collect(kwargs) into an array crashes julia if kwargs are empty and two or more types are part of the array
Here's my MNWE after some hours of drill-down.
f1(; kwargs...) = Any[collect(kwargs)...]
f2(; kwargs...) = [1, collect(kwargs)...]
f3(; kwargs...) = Any[1, collect(kwargs)...]
f4(; kwargs...) = [1:10, 1, collect(kwargs)...]
f5(; kwargs...) = [1:10, 1, [kwargs...]...]
# works
f1()
f2()
f5()
f3(kw = "hi")
f4(kw = "hi")
# crashes
f3()
f4()with the following message
