This is a patch against fossil check-out 0589ebf465de4e2c7218a376d2ce7f4eebd6f040 (trunk as of 2012-04-26 13:21:01 UTC), implementing a TIP of the same name.
There's room for some improvements
in how to handle this feature when bytecompiling.
Since we always know this syntax will produce
zero words, there's no requirement to disable all
compiling when encountering it. This is in contrast
to {*} where the inability to know how many words
are coming disables compilation.
