Interesting; in the unix culture splat is often `*`. I'd never heard it used for anything else.

- whoooooo123 4y agoThe unary `*` in Ruby is usually called the "splat operator".
- michaelcampbell 4y agoYes, true, and I have heard that. Python, too, now that I think about it, but what I meant (unclearly) is I've never heard "splat" used for anything but (star); regardless of what the (star) represented.
