The packing/unpacking operators - * for lists/tuples and ** for dicts - 
are very useful and somehow hard to keep track of.  We know about them 
from the relatively standard form:

def func(foo, *args, **kwargs):

but it's not magic unique to function declarations/signatures, it's a 
general form usable in many places.

(okay, I'm speaking for myself, I have to keep reminding myself, but I 
keep seeing evidence it's probably a useful reminder for others as well).

Unfortunately docs on this packing/unpacking stuff are not as visible as 
they might be.
