This is one of those cases where it doesn't make any sense to treat the * symbol hygienically, since there is no other possible meaning for a symbol in that position (similar to the `else' in case statements, but unlike the `else' in cond statements which could refer to a variable named else.

So it's safe to just match the name of the *.
