tistar, `=*`, %tstr

Produces

Twig: [%tstr p=term q=wing r=twig]

p is a term. q is a ++wing. r is a twig.

Tall form

=*  p  q
    r

Wide form

=*(p q r)

Examples

~zod/try=> 
    =+  a=1
    =*  b  a
    [a b]
[1 1]
~zod/try=> 
    =+  a=1
    =*  b  a
    =.  a  2
    [a b]
[2 2]

Here we see two simple examples of =*, both aliasing b to the value of a. In our second case you can see that even when we change the value of a, b continues to point to that value.
