That must be a list of 3 elements where specifies: pair start, pair end,
and a non-nil value which specifies to insert an extra space after `pair
start` was typed.

Thus, if electric-pair-pairs is set like this:
(setq electric-pair-pairs '(("/*" " */" t)))

After the pair start was typed it expands to this:
/* | */
   ^ cursor
