I seem to be having a Brain Cloud¹ moment, but I am trying to match a pattern 
like this:

foo+(anything)# or foo# and NOT match

foobar#
foobar+(anything)#
foob#
foob+(anything)#
etc

foo+# is invalid and cannot occur in my dataset.

Basically, the + is optional, but if it is there, I have to account for 
anything after the + up to the # but not account for anything after foo unless 
the + is there.

I started with foo\+?.*# but that obviously failed and now I'm looking at it 
and it's 0500 and I should've been in bed 7 hours ago.

And yes, I am going to feel real stupid.
