This project is very much a work in progress. More operators and symbols to come. That said, if you see any errors or omissions, please let me know on Bluesky, Twitter, or via email.

Rest in Multiple Assignment

The asterisk symbol (*) is used as part of "Multiple Assignment" statements to capture the remaining elements in an array destructuring assignment.

> a, b, *rest = (1..10).to_a
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a
=> 1
> b
=> 2
> rest
=> [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
