improve title (parallelism with the other canonical)

add see-also with closure guidance; focus and de-opinionate the question

improve title to match the corresponding canonical for parameters a bit better

Note: For PEP 448: Additional Unpacking Generalizations specific stuff (e.g. [*a, b, *c] or {**d1, **d2}), you'll want to read asterisk in tuple, list and set definitions, double asterisk in dict definition, which is specific to the use outside of function calls and function definitions. For the earlier PEP 3132, see Multiple Unpacking Assignment in Python when you don't know the sequence length.

I think this should be phrased as the "* function call syntax". They aren't operators, though it will get confusing as there is a * and ** operator that have nothing to do with this syntax.
