Comment (by johnleo):

 I have copied Richard's comments about deprecating `*` into
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12030].  I have also created
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12550] for the work to fix
 display of `*` when unicode is set.  I agree with Richard's arguments to
 not change the behavior of either `:k *` or `:i *` for now, and am closing
 this feature request.  If Iceland Jack or anyone else feels very
 passionately about it, feel free to reopen with additional justification.
