I recall + for options is, if not a violation of the posix spec,
certainly outside the spirit of it.  This is why gnu getopt uses --
though it used to use + for long options.

Proven did an unencumbered reimplementation of getopt that's in our
tree; we'll merge it in to MIT at some point (Marc is back and there's
a formal meeting with Ted planned to schedule what we actually put in
the MIT tree and when, so this will get resolved soon, directly
instead of over chinese food :-)

It looks like rlogin uses:
    { "noforwardable", 0, &off_option, 'F' },
    { "noforward", 0, &off_option, 'f' },
    { "noencrypt", 0, &off_option, 'x' },
    { "forwardable", 0, NULL, 'F' },
    { "forward", 0, NULL, 'f' },
    { "encrypt", 0, NULL, 'x' },
    { "noflow", 0, NULL, 0 },
