Trying to restate the proposal, somewhat more formal following Random832
and Paul's suggestion.
I only speak about the single star.

*The suggested change of syntax:*
comprehension ::= starred_expression comp_for
*Semantics:*
(In the following, f(x) must always evaluate to an iterable)
1. List comprehension:
result = [*f(x) for x in iterable if cond]
Translates to
result = []
for x in iterable:
if cond:
result.extend(f(x))
2. Set comprehension:
result = {*f(x) for x in iterable if cond}
Translates to
result = set()
for x in iterable:
if cond:
result.update(f(x))
3. Generator expression:
(*f(x) for x in iterable if cond)
Translates to
for x in iterable:
if cond:
yield from f(x)
