Indeed, "star unpacking" has been brought up many times; I think it would be really cool myself.

It might have a chance of acceptance this time if the proponents stick with unpacking at the end: a,b,*c=sometup instead of a,*b,c=sometup. The latter has usually gotten shot down quickly, taking the former down with it.
