That is probably a good idea, since it is a symbol of general interest (even if not frequently occurring). However, for it to be appropriately available for equations, one also needs to have define -+ "\[-+]" say in file tmac/eqnrc. If tmac/eqnrc is read in before tmac/ps.tmac (which I'm not sure about) then one may get a "warning: can't find special character `-+'" since \[-+] is not yet defined; but it seems that this will not spoil the interpretation of "-+" within equations in the troff source file once tmac/ps.tmac has been read. As a bit of general advice, it can be very useful to create one's own special definitions. In my case this has involved extensive modifications of tmac/eqnrc, plus extra tmac files "tmac/tmac.ted" and "tmac/tmac.preted" which have a lot of stuff (and involve extra options "-mpreted -mted" in the command that calls troff. (I will spare the list the details of this lot ... ).
