Used in #18338. Couldn't find a way to test..

yes, any (top) function should be defined in any top module that might use them, including Core.Inference; and essentials.jl is a good place for it.

for testing, you could use some variant of:

julia> eval(Core.Inference, quote
         f(;x...) = println(;x...)
       end)
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> Core.Inference.f(a=1, b=2, c=3)
ERROR: UndefVarError: vector_any not defined
 in #f#213(::Array{Any,1}, ::Function) at REPL[1]:2
 in (::Core.Inference.#kw##f)(::Array{Any,1}, ::Core.Inference.#f) at <missing>:0
 in eval(::Module, ::Any) at ./boot.jl:234
 in eval(::Module, ::Any) at /Volumes/Lion/Users/jameson/Documents/julia/usr/lib/julia/sys.dylib:?

 in macro expansion; at REPL.jl:97 [inlined]

This enables calls to kwarg functions before Base is defined
(eg. in inference), as the frontend generates a call to vector_any.

Thanks. Turns out this did work on 0.4, so I've added the regression label.
Rebased and added a test.

f18396(;kwargs...) = g18396(;kwargs...)
g18396(;x=1,y=2) = x+y
end)
Core.Inference.f18396()

probably best to also @test the return value so that it is also confirmed to do something
