Special-casing the + could be useful to simplify support for
"svn::ssh://"-style addresses as both could receive the same URL
("ssh://..").
It would also mean less clutter in the script directory. Instead of
having two scripts, one to catch "helper://.." remote URLs and another
to catch "helper+ssh://.." URLs, the same script would differentiate
between used protocols.
