what does your title mean?

the * is unix for anything. technically it should have been "a?" where the "?" is any one character, but that weould have added to the confusion.
In short, this is unix for aa/ai.

Pepe, the "a*" seems like a real time saver. You're becoming more and more American all the time.

You could probably get in five more minutes of regular work per year if you continue deploying the asterisk.

That unixy asterisk comes in handy at times, especially for searches. But, as a shorthand for aa/ai, it comes up short.
