I do understand that @* syntax is coming from citeproc-el. However, we
are talking about changes to Org core. If Org highlights @* with 'error
face, some users will be confused.
Could you please elaborate about "the same construct and functionality
is also supported by the "biblatex" and "natbib" export processors"?
I cannot call myself expert in LaTeX, but I've never heard about LaTeX
\cite/\nocite commands supporting "*" argument. I cannot find any traces
of "*" functionality in oc-bibtelatex/oc-natbib as well.
Best,
