This is a special feature of Solaris make. I'm not aware of other
versions of make that support it; definitely GNU make does not support
this syntax. That's why you won't find it in the manual.
The above rule looks, to GNU make, like a single target with the literal
name "foo.out+bar.out+oof.out" (since you have no whitespace here).
