Apparently, since there is no libstdc++ package, apt-get takes this as a
regular expression. The manpage does not really state that, although it
mentions regular expressions:
,----

`----
It's also not obvious to me why the trailing '+' gets removed in the
process. Does anybody have an explanation?

This is rather clear: since not all packages matching 'libstdc+' could
be installed together, apt-get bails out.
