Since this string isn't hardcoded, I'll have to write a function to add 
these slashes, and all this is becoming ugly: I don't want to waste time 
on debugging.

I finally solved my problem by doing:

  "a b c".sub("b") { "believe\\+me" }

But I wonder if this is the "best" Ruby has to offer for my very humble 
demands.
