Comment:

 I attacked `sanitize_title_with_dashes()` here as well #17648

 I refreshed my patch for this ticket. With it, you can no longer add $$$
 an endless number of times, and M- and M+ become m-minus and m-plus in
 slug form. This way be controversial, but my thinking (and RegEx logic)
 are this:

 - If you enter {Not - or +}{+ or -}{space}, this is an intentional use of
 "plus" or "minus" e.g. A+ Effort
 - If your term name ENDS in {Not - or +}{+ or -}, same goes = e.g. A+

 These satisfy comment:6 and all Unit Tests pass. If we go with this patch,
 #22023 is no longer blocked.
