Because it does exacly the same job as just calling the function with *a/**k, and there should preferably be only one obvious way to perform a given task (this guiding principle leads to simplicity in the language, and is common to Python and to the "Spirit of C" as explained in the preface of the ISO C Standard -- they phrase it as "offer only one way to perform an operation", I believe).
