Subject:	gawk: regression with unary plus
User-Agent:	Tryst/2.3.0 (github.com/svnpenn/tryst)

Previously conversions could be triggered by either adding zero (+0), unary
plus (+) or unary minus (-) [1]:

    $ gawk --version
    GNU Awk 4.1.4, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.6-p1, GNU MP 6.1.2)

    $ ./gawk 'BEGIN {print "01" + 0}'
    1

    $ ./gawk 'BEGIN {print +"01"}'
    1

    $ ./gawk 'BEGIN {print -"01"}'
    -1

However now conversion only happens with adding zero and unary minus:

    $ gawk --version
    GNU Awk 4.2.0, API: 2.0 (GNU MPFR 3.1.6-p1, GNU MP 6.1.2)

    $ gawk 'BEGIN {print "01" + 0}'
    1

    $ gawk 'BEGIN {print +"01"}'
    01

    $ gawk 'BEGIN {print -"01"}'
    -1

Does anyone know where this change was mentioned or why it was done?
