OK, so if you search using the right search engine, you *might* get a
link to the Python docs. (As I pointed out in a reply to myself before,
you *do* get relevant hits with my Google searches as well, but
virtually nothing to the relevant Python documentation.)

My thinking is borne out; I asked a friend who didn't know what it did
to find out, and he went to Google with the search "python 'starred
argument'", which he said led to moderately helpful results, but again
none from the actual Python docs.

I might think to look at the Wikipedia article for *Python* (which, by
the way, doesn't help); looking at the wikipedia page for *asterisk*
wouldn't even enter my mind.

Chris Angelico's interpretation is correct: I did four searches, "python
function star", "python function asterisk", "python star", and "python
asterisk".
