It's not impossible the 1st musictex packages were doing this by
default, so the * was necessary (I don't know). Since now it's
obsolete, I don't find strange to expect to use * for line break
(justified by default). 


I think in some case some pple would expect to have the last line
justified, no matter how many notes / words there can be on the
line, even 3 or 4. The visual aspect is not really nice, but some
pple may prefer it this way

====== ======= ===========
===== ======= ==== =======
== === === ======== == ===
==         ====        ===


instead of 

====== ======= ===========
===== ======= ==== =======
== === === ======== == ===
== ==== ===


(msword can do this when converting some line break from other
word processors)

Since we could use * for line break, with justification, and
people would unlikely use a * for the last line, the bad looking
notation would unlikely occur, except if ppl really want it this
way.

So this way we could still use the !...! notation and prefer *
instead of ! (except if pple really want no justification for the
bars).

Anyway, *...* is less readable than !...!.
