Steven, please. You seemed to struggle to understand the notion of the 
[*....] construct and many people (not just me) here tried their best to 
explain their intuition to you. But now it seems you don't even try to 
come behind the idea and instead try hard not to understand the help 
offered. If you don't want help or don't really want to understand the 
proposal, that's fine but please, do us a favor and don't divert the 
thread with nitpicking nonsensical details (like multiplication) and 
waste everybody's time.


The context of the proposal is about lists/dicts and the */** unpacking 
syntax. So, I actually expect you to put every post here into this very 
context. Discussions without context don't make much sense. So, I won't 
reply further.


Best,
Sven
