The code effectively does

$plugin_class = (($name =~ /^\+(.*)) ? $1 : "Catalyst::Plugin::${name}");

:ActionClass behaves the same, as does DBIC's load_components.

All three are, I believe, documented, but my knowledge comes from involvement
(of varying extents) in the implementation of all three so I forget where :)
