They could compromise by adding a few more lines of code and having '+' resolve to ' ' if and only if the file can't be found with '+', or vice versa.

Immidiatly mark this behaviour as deprecated and switch over to proper '+' == '+' behaviour later.

edit: LiquidFire's idea is better.

That would require synchronisation, potentially between multiple servers. Doing this efficiently, without race conditions could be very tricky at their size.

It also makes lookups ambiguous if you have both. :)
