Agree on both counts: they are not opposites, but [+@foo] is probably still not a bad choice.

IMHO no, it can't. [@foo] is "(Foo 2013)", so [-@foo] being "(2013)" makes kinda
sense, at least intuitively, because something is taken away, or "subtracted".
But "Foo (2013)" doesn't add anything compared to "(Foo 2013)".

That doesn't mean that [+@foo] would be a terrible choice, though. Given the
constraint that brackets are required, [+@foo] is probably as good an option as
any.
