There is actually a story behind this. It used to be that it was decided
that the 'separator' character was always "=" (as in SRS[01]=). Then I,
and other with me, asked for the "+" character to be reintroduced, so as
to accomodate sendmail's "plussed users" facility, to be used like this:

SRS0+*:   [email protected]

To create a "fall-back" for sendmail (for in-between Milter callbacks,
for instance, so as to not have SRS Milter-only approach run into an
"Unknown user" error while returning from callbacks).

So, the 'separator' character is only [+-=] directly after SRS[01]. After
that, only ever the "=" is used.
