Yeah. It's so easy and obvious that you are going to bang your head
against the wall. :) The single star does not only collect all arguments
in a function definition. It also expands a sequence as arguments.
def egg(*args):
spam(*args)
somefunc(*(a, b, c)) is equivalent to somefunc(a, b, c).
Double star (**) does the same with keyword arguments
