Terry J. Reedy added the comment: #19024 was about adding a general section on the various uses of '*'. This was before the new * unpacking generalizations. It was closed because the then existing uses *are* documented and are indexed in the first, Symbols, section of the index.
There are now 4 entries. I think entries for standalone '*' (operator and function defs) should be separated from those for '*identifier'. Entries for new *identifier uses need to be added to the index. Assignment statement *identifier target is in 7.2. Assignment statements. Actually documenting the changes in #2292 is #24136 (untouched since July). ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: -> duplicate stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed superseder: -> document PEP 448: unpacking generalization title: Document of star operator missing.
