Added a unary '+' operator (+variable) to provide symmetry with the unary '-' operator (-variable). These operators are supported by most languages, so makes sense to include. Although unary '+' is effectively a NOP, it provides clarity in coding situations where want to contrast with the negation, where one may have code applying + and - to some magnitude.

In scripting often have symmetric rules, such as:

static rule_type1(alpha, beta, threshold1, threshold2) {
    return (alpha > -threshold1) && (beta < +threshold2)
}
static rule_type2(alpha, beta, threshold1, threshold2) {
    return (alpha < +threshold1) && (beta > -threshold2)
}

Having + and - magnitude clarifies the rules for us.
