Research direction
Review the grammar documentation issue and the linked pull request python/cpython#29303 first; the payload does not name a file or test. Confirm where the comprehension grammar describes a star expression, correct the misleading reference to or_expression, and verify that the documentation no longer suggests the wrong syntax.
