It will work most of the time but there is no guarantee that something
else hasn't caused fvwm to execute an AddToMenu or something. If that
happens the plus command will be diverted and won't get added to the
Focus-and-Raise function. If you start using FvwmEvent/FvwmCommand to do
magic things automatically like creating functions or menus on the fly
you might very well get bitten by this.

It's probably quite safe to use "+" in FvwmConsole etc. but only if you
do it fairly quickly, i.e. don't go for a coffee in between.

fvwm could remember the destination the last AddTo* command on every
input stream and use that for "+" commands from modules, but it's a lot
of work and no-one has reported being affected by it.

Cheers,
Tim.
