QQ: what does the `+-` signs mean in `--filter-tag-regex="[[+-]regex1,regex2,..., [+-]regex1,regex2,..., ...]"` (<https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-filter#section-tag-regex|link>)?

<https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/project-introspection#filter---find-targets-that-match-a-predicate> gives some examples. you can optionally put an `+` in front, which is the default. You can also optionally put a `-` in front to negate it

<@U051221NF> thoughts on removing the `+` from those generated docs? The default is already `+`, so seems like just extra confusion. (We would keep the code affordance)

ok, so if we have something like `./pants filter --filter-address-regex=-foo ::` it is saying: find me ALL the targets with tags that do NOT fit the regex `foo` ?
