mapping setMark to m<*> doesn't work

[s-kramer]

Hello,

I've noticed that it's not possible to map the m key to setMark function. This is also confirmed by other users e.g.: https://gist.github.com/pablospe/de3715fd3f0084cfe8ed

Was this made on purpose? What is the rationale for this behavior?

This issue was reproduced on current master branch 0503d123b

The brackets surrounding the asterisk in m<*> are meant to indicate that any key after m will be accepted. I've implemented it slightly differently in the code: the correct way to map this would be map m* setMark

Shouldn't m key be mapped to setMark by default, like in vim?
