This doesn't look like Python literal. And if the function accepts a one 
particular non-literal the user can except that it accepts other looking 
similarly non-literal, that is false.

Actually ast.literal_eval("+True") is error. But 
ast.literal_eval(ast.UnaryOp(ast.UAdd(), ast.Constant(True))) is successful by 
oversight.

And look at this from other side. What is the benefit of accepting "+True"? 
This doesn't make the code simpler.
