Also the '*' syntax can't be used to unpack nested items.
Makes perfectly good sense to me.
Didn't say it didn't.
Then I still don't know what you meant by your original comment. What kind of nested item unpacking would you like to do that the * syntax wouldn't handle?
Symmetry is not always the best solution. Sometimes asymmetry is good because it can communicate a different context more clearly.
Perhaps, but why do you think that the symmetry we already have between packing and unpacking is okay, but a new symmetry involving * wouldn't be okay? -- Greg
