Actually, that would have to be (*@​) in a my, since a my takes a
signature. You can only use (*) in an ordinary list assignment​:

  (*) = 5;
  ($a,$b,$c,*) = @​values;

Ok, since the latter two work already, I'm rescuing this bug ticket by
re-naming it "[TODO] Implement (*@​) in the LHS of 'my' declarations".

Implemented in git dfe942d (the patch actually makes bare sigils in
signatures generally work, with the happy result that I could also
unskip various other things in assign.t). assign.t did miss a test for
this case though, so added that as well.

Thanks,
