Comment:

 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 *.
