Misc Q: What's with all the SQL*... asterisks?

Can anyone shed any light on why various Oracle
applications and services have an asterisk in their
names? E.g. SQL*PLUS, SQL*LOADER etc.? Is there
some particular meaning or amusing story behind this?



Not an important question, but one which occurs to
me occasionally when I recall explaining to a PHB why it 
was not a good idea to rename his sqlplus executable
to sql*plus ;-)
