Illegal in python2.4.(Wrongly ?) And makes the star solution half unuseful.

>>> def f(*args,**kwargs):
...   pass
...
>>> f(*(1,2,3),iter=True)
   File "<stdin>", line 1
     f(*(1,2,3),iter=True)

Leaving out what I just asserted in the previous thread :( I suppose you
meant output((x*x for x in range(10)), iter=1)

f(1,[2,3],(_ for _ in (4,5)),iter=True)
