`*' is quite noisey visually. A bit of a splat that attracts the eye if your editor isn't using a font that makes it a bit small and superscript, drawing the eye away from the macro name itself. How about a trailing `-'? It's quiet. Looks OK having briefly tried it. And the brain is used to seeing trailing ones due to hypenation. Cheers, Ralph.
