Description

It would be beneficial to add explanation on the usage of asterisks on this repo

On the gas column, the gas specification has a `[NUMBER]*` – like `SSTORE` uses `20000**` units of gas. I'm guessing that the `*` is differentiating warm/cold accesses, but it would be helpful to specify exactly what it refers to.

Research direction

Start by locating the gas-column table or reference text in the repository and inspect how entries such as SSTORE and [NUMBER]* are presented. Document what the asterisk means, including the conditions it denotes, and verify that the explanation matches the listed opcode entries.
