That page does not contain a + or * character at all, and while it
does describe buffers, it does not describe buffers whose names are
anything other than lowercase letters. In fact, it explicitly says
there are only 26 of them (a-z).
Furthermore, in my own testing just now, I'm unable to get this to
work. vim (version 2:9.0.1378-2) running in urxvt, command mode,
pressing "+ or "* generates a terminal bell. Pressing p after
either one of these pastes what's in vim's unnamed default buffer.
