I agree with the others that the new syntax is not needed.

I would also like to point out that I believe any new added syntax or
functionality should avoid the use of '*' and '**' as both of these
characters are already used for many things such as optional arguments and
mathematical operators. Adding more uses for said characters only decreases
the readability of the code.
