# definitely, it seems so natural using
# = *a,b

indeed, as robert pointed out.
but the magic generally leans towards, producing (and thereby questioning) *a, like

def x
  *a
end

or 

def x
   1,2,3
end

so what does *a produce, or 1,2,3? an array, a list, or an unarrayed array (to quote dblack)? those are just names, but what is it really, what are its properties/methods/etc?

# and this gives the feel of ruby. isn't it  ?

i'm not sure (because the magic tends to fall on hole, a cul de sac), maybe because i seldom use it, ... only matz knows.
