comment from Sam Ellis of ARM:
"This example regex does not match my understanding of how regexes work.
Normally, '+' indicates 'one or more of' and therefore there needs to be
something before the '+' that it applies to, for example '.+' to match 'any
character, one or more times'. The POSIX ERE specification also suggests this
example is not a valid ERE: "(The ...plus-sign... Any of the following uses
produce undefined results: If these characters appear first in an ERE"."
