Handling + in auto_master would be nice.  The + as an entry in a map is
utterly and fundamentally broken (a map is an associative lookup, d****
it!) although the same (and better) functionality can be had with
"multi" maps.  Unfortunately, I don't know of any sane way to specify
multi maps in the auto_master format; it's probably time to try to
recommend using something like /etc/autofstab with auto_master as a
compatibility fallback.
