Yes.  This is for the case:

foo(a = 1, *%defaults);

Hash creation with duplicate keys

[Ingo Blechschmidt]

Hi,

# Perl 5
my %hash = (a = 1, b = 2, a = 3);
warn $hash{a};   # 3

But I vaguely remember having seen...:

# Perl 6
my %hash = (a = 1, b = 2, a = 3);
say %hasha;# 1

Can somebody confirm this?
