Hi everyone,

I have looked at ways to support "+" in file maps (only!).  As I have
previously bitched about, there are tons of problems with this syntax;
one of them being the lack of a map type.

There is no API for handling /etc/nsswitch.conf... and based on what I
can find out about the NSS system, it doesn't actually buy anything.

I pretty much refuse to implement my own parser for /etc/nsswitch.conf
to handle this completely idiotic corner case.

Thus, for the people who have been, ahem, requesting this feature, I
would like feedback how to handle a "+" without the map type.
