I do see uses of both + and *, sometimes its intentionally mixed.
E.g. here is the bad_struct_term select pattern:

 >     select    = "^[ \t]*typedef[ \t]+struct[ \t]+term[ \t]*;";

In places where whitespace is optional, it uses *.  When its required,
it uses +.  We may not be using plus in all places we should across
the whole file, but IMHO there's no reason not to DTRT for new
cases. :-)
