While it appears to rhyme with the use of a lone '*' in function signatures, it would actually mean the opposite: in signatures it means "don't allow any more".

So it's already confusing, and I don't think adding another wildcard meaning would make things any worse. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
