Multiplication with only a single argument? Come on.
You didn't say anything about a single argument. Your exact words are
shown above: "where have I seen * so far?". I'm pretty sure you've seen
* used for multiplication. I also could have mentioned regexes, globs,
and exponentiation.
I cannot respond to your intended meaning, only to what you actually
write. Don't blame the reader if you failed to communicate clearly and
were misunderstood.
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
