To me the "*" notation already /appears/ to work like that:
(Python 3.x)
    >>> a = [1, 2, 3]
    >>> (b, *c) = a
    >>> b
    1
    >>> c
    [2, 3]

Just only in one direction.

    >>> a = (b, *c)
      File "<stdin>", line 1
    SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment target
