The semantics seem fairly obvious if you treat it as changing the method calls. For lists, * uses .extend() instead of .append(). Sets use * for .update() instead of .add(). Dicts use ** for .update() instead of __setitem__. In that case x should be a mapping (or iterable of pairs maybe), and all pairs in that should be added to the dict. In generator expressions * means yield from instead of just yield. The ** in dicts is needed to distinguish between set and dict comprehensions, since it doesn't use a colon.
