Folks,
this is basically the same issue as I reported in readline:

The bad hunk seems not to be POSIX shell compliant.
I think your eyes are fooling you. I looked at the link below, and it
has both ":+" and "+".
The table on that page has 8 lines after the title line, right?
If you would think of the 8 lines as 4 pairs, like:
lines pair
1+2 1
3+4 2
5+6 3
7+8 4
The pairs are about 4 related operations. If you let P = the oPerator
then the odd lines are about ':P'
and the even lines are about 'P' (no colon).
The Pairs from 1-4 are about the operators: '-', '=', '?', '+'
Pair 4 shows effects of ':+' and '+'.
Isn't that what you are talking about?
Yeah -- w/o the ':' looks a bit 'off', but it has a separate meaning
and has been around for a long time.
(I first encountered it when porting 1980's era scripts)
