Actually the 'splat' operator is already there:</p> <pre><code>>> x = [1,2,3] => [1, 2, 3] >> [10, *x] => [10, 1, 2, 3] </code></pre> <p>It's syntactically different from the multiply operator (note there's no left-hand-side). Ruby 1.9 just adds a load of new tricks you can do with it.</p> Hi Brandon – no I think it should be OK. Actually the ’splat’ operator is already there:

>> x = [1,2,3]
=> [1, 2, 3]
>> [10, *x]
=> [10, 1, 2, 3]

It’s syntactically different from the multiply operator (note there’s no left-hand-side). Ruby 1.9 just adds a load of new tricks you can do with it.
