I would not call is an operator. Operator forms an expression, but *x is
not an expression. It is not more operator than colon.
Is there such term as "syntax form" in English? I would call *x, x for x
in a, x:y syntax forms. They are not expressions, but can be part of
expression. They can only be used in some context, and the meaning
depends on the context (x:y are two different things in {x:y} and in
a[x:y]).
