Reviewing this again now, I think my previous naming suggestion is problematic, as it encourages conflating two different concepts that use similar syntax:

* collecting arbitrary positional parameters in a tuple (VAR_POSITIONAL) or arbitrary keyword parameters in a dictionary (VAR_POSITIONAL, VAR_KEYWORD)
* unpacking function arguments from iterables (BUILD_VAR_POSITIONAL) or mappings (BUILD_VAR_KEYWORD)

I think the fix for that error is straightforward though: replace "VAR" with "ARG" in the new opcode names, giving:

* BUILD_ARG_POSITIONAL
* BUILD_ARG_KEYWORD

That should also read nicely with Zackery's documentation updates.
