It's not clear to me. It's currently (3.8) illegal syntax, and I have no idea what the `*` would mean in the function call. I know what it means in function definitions, but somehow we seem to have (accidentally?) flipped from talking about Rhodi's dislike of the `*` in function *definitions* to an (imaginary? proposed?) use of `*` in function *calls*.
