+.. warning::

+   If a message is constructed with multiple variants of a single ``oneof`` passed
+   to its constructor, the **last** keyword/value pair passed will be the final
+   value set.

+   This is consistent with PEP-468_, which specifies the order that keyword args

+      class Song(proto.Message):
