In upcoming patches we make calls to match_atom_name() with the '*'
deref specifier still attached to the atom name. This causes
undesirable errors, hence, if present skip over the '*' deref
specifier in the atom name.
I'd drop the second sentence since it doesn't add much or any value.
Instead, you might want to explain that skipping '*' is done as a
convenience.

    Subsequent patches will call match_atom_name() with the '*' deref
    specifier still attached to the atom name so, as a convenience,
    skip over it on their behalf.
