Hello

org-open-line replicates the table marking character '#' (if present) into
the new table line but does not do the same for '*'.

Since the semantics of '#' and '*' are so similar I expect them to be
treated identically when opening a new table line.

Within defun org-table-insert-row, changing this line:

         ;; Fix the first field if necessary
         (when (string-match "^[ \t]*| *[#$] *|" line)

to:

         ;; Fix the first field if necessary
         (when (string-match "^[ \t]*| *[#*$] *|" line)

gives the expected behavior.

Can this be fixed?

thanks
