'yum' seems to be using "wildcards", a.k.a. "shell patterns",  where
'+' is not significant.  OTOH yum documentation insists on talking
about "regexps" where the picture would be different.  In practice
it looks that there are some inconsistencies there and quoting
is at least prudent and it does solve gotchas.
