Sorry, I don't see why we would allow such strange format. The * to
"star" translation is only there for a few commands that contain a
star. I don't see why it would be widely used. Supporting it would
probably break a few things, I don't want to spend time investigating.
I don't see why adding a help file for Common Lisp would require more
than a couple of tags with stars. The tags a for Vim commands and
items, not for language stuff.
