It's rather amazing how long an argument can continue over the relative
merits of - and + based almost solely on one being shifted on most keyboards.
People use <, >, !, &, $, etc. all the time with no complaints about shifts.
If dealing with a keyboard is *really* that much of a problem, wouldn't it
be more appropriate to go to a mouse and menu system?
