We are moving toward using the same signatures that we have in the Python code, 
but that doesn't always work (e.g. when the meaning of values changes depending 
on the number of args, when there's some trick with *args/**kwargs involved, 
when there are default placeholders, etc.).
The single * is not so common (yet), and it might be difficult to understand 
for new users, that's why I said it's OK to leave it out in cases where all the 
args are keyword args and the [] are used.
