Single asterisk == "arbitrary argument list".  Useful in certain
patterns, but not something you use every day.

Documentation is in the tutorial:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node6.html#SECTION006730000000000000000

PS:  Like "self" for class instance methods, "*args" is the
conventional name of the arbitrary argument list.
