Good point. But what else can the unary positive do? I'm just trying to add a
use for it.

Because `ord("a")` is `97`. Have you read the last question at the end of the
post?
And eval("0xa") is 10. Why shouldn't +"a" be 10 instead?
Why are you using eval? int is safer: int("0xa", 0)
You haven't given any reason why unary plus should imply ord().
