Guido dislikes dict(x, **y) for the (very good) reason that it relies on y only having keys which are valid keyword argument names (unless you are using CPython 2.7, where the dict constructor cheats). This objection/restriction does not apply to PEP 448, which generalizes the ** unpacking syntax to dict literals. So this solution has the same concision as dict(x, **y), without the downside.

In what way is this solution better than the dict(x, **y)-solution? As you (@CarlMeyer) mentioned within the note of your own answer (stackoverflow.com/a/39858/2798610) Guido considers that solution illegal.
