[texhax] Creating stared versions of macros

there's a rather new package on ctan, called suffix.sty (needs elatex,
which is the default in newer distributions).

so we can say:

\usepackage{suffix}
           \newcommand\fred {\message{fred}}
\WithSuffix\newcommand\fred*{\message{fred*}}

which is somewhat of an improvement on all that fiddling with
\makeatletter and \@ifstar.

i _like_ suffix.sty...
