On a side note, why is there at all the need for a `+' sign operator?
For completeness?  I cannot think of any situation where I would write a
`+' to denote sign in my code. It is merely a no-operation. If anyone "foo
= +2" in some code, I would blame him for writing redundant code.

I claim that use of the `+' sign operator is bad coding style in any
context.

Removing it would instantly fix the "a +2" syntax error.
