Asciidoc.py and Asciidoctor do not process the '+' verbatim the same way. A
span is detected when the format sign (here '+')is preceded by a non-word
character. It seems that '{nbsp}' is considered a non-word sign by
Asciidoc.py, but not by Asciidoctor.
Using a double format-sign opens 'unconstrained' span, independent on the
preceding character in both engines.
The '+' sign is used instead of the backtick '`' because it is not processed
as synopsis in asciidoc.py. Unfortunately, the post-processing of verbatim
synopsis in asciidoctor cannot be bypassed and formatting of the parentheses
is forced in syntax sign instead of keywords, unless a proper grammar
analyzer is used.
