    Wrap func to expect its parameters to be passed positionally in a tuple.

    Has a similar effect to that of ``itertools.starmap`` over
    simple ``map``.

    >>> import itertools, operator
    >>> pairs = [(-1, 1), (0, 2)]
    >>> _ = tuple(itertools.starmap(print, pairs))
    -1 1
    0 2
    >>> _ = tuple(map(splat(print), pairs))
    -1 1
    0 2

    The approach generalizes to other iterators that don't have a "star"
    equivalent, such as a "starfilter".

    >>> list(filter(splat(operator.add), pairs))
    [(0, 2)]

    Splat also accepts a mapping argument.

    ...     return "smile" in msg or code == 0

    ...     dict(msg='smile!', code=20),

    ...     dict(msg='unknown', code=0),
    ... ]

    ...     print(msg)
    {'msg': 'smile!', 'code': 20}
    {'msg': 'unknown', 'code': 0}
