As far as I can find out, *string* is just a normal identifier.
*identifier-name* is a common-lisp convention to denote a special /
global / dynamic variable, but all elisp variables are dynamic anyway.
Note that in general lisp identifier names are much more flexible than
identifiers in most languages, and can consist of any character you
want, with only minor extra syntax for "special characters" like
spaces and quotes, and many characters like *, +, - etc are NOT
special in lisp.
