Maybe add a stylistic set that always displays * like the cv15 variant of that star and only display the default variant when it's surrounded by spaces * (in multiplications) or line breaks (eg in java docstrings) or when there's a slash left from it and a space or line break right from it /* or the other way around */ or when it's used in the beginning of a java doctsring /** (both stars should be displayed as the default variant of the star)

This way the cv15 star variant (where * isn't centered) is displayed in every other context (eg when it's used as a pointer in C/C++, when it's used as unpacking operator *my_list or as *args or **kwargs or in to the power equations a ** b in Python)
