Comment (by goldfire):

 Replying to [comment:5 Rufflewind]:
 > Why not use `(..)` instead of `*`?  It seems more consistent with
 Haskell's current syntax.

 Sold. I like this much more than `*`. It was also suggested that `(..)`
 could be omitted if it were going to be the last item on the line. I'm
 happy with that suggestion, too.
