I have not found a hack-free solution yet. Here are some other things I've
tried that would be less hackish, but have all failed:
- Replace \\ with \tabularnewline :: Same behavior as with \\
- Replace \\ with \\{} :: Extra horizontal space before the *
- Replace \\ with \tabularnewline{} :: Same behavior as \\{}
I just now tried another solution that does work, but may still be considered a
hack. In short, use the optional argument explicitly:
- Replace \\ with \\[0pt] :: This has the expected behavior for the * and for
the spacing
