It means exactly the same as:

(f *** g) xy = (f (fst xy), g (snd xy))

i.e. if you call (f *** g) undefined, you will get (f undefined, g
undefined). If the pattern was strict (i.e. no ~) you would get
undefined.

Please update the keyword wiki so it makes sense to you, after you
have got your head round it.

Thanks

Neil
