Maybe it's not a bug, but it certainly doesn't seem like a good design
choice. The whole point of the introduction of `&*`, at least as I
understood it, is that it allowed users to give their own definition to
a symbol that looks something like * and behaves syntactically
somewhat like *. `&*` is never really needed, but it can make things
easier if a user can type a &* b instead of myproduct(a,b). It's hard
to believe that the Maple designers really needed it for their own
inscrutable purposes.
