Because it does exacly the same job as just calling the function with
*a/**k, and there should preferably be only one obvious way to perform a
given task (this guiding principle leads to simplicity in the language,
and is common to Python and to the "Spirit of C" as explained in the
preface of the ISO C Standard -- they phrase it as "offer only one way
to perform an operation", I believe).
