They'll lose their special meaning to TMDA.

Currently, no.  The delimiter has to be a string, not a list of
strings, and is used to split up the address for processing.  The code
would need to be changed in a bunch of places, and we'd have to figure
out what to do if more than one delimiter is present in the address,
eg "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  I'm not sure there's a good
answer to that problem.

Your only alternatives now are to configure Postfix to use '+' as the
delimiter ('recipient_delimiter=+' in main.cf) or somehow rewrite the
+-delimited addresses to be --delimited before they reach TMDA.
