Yes, you are missing info.texi, which does describe this command.  I
think a sentence about the significance of the prefix argument in this
case would be appropriate there.  If you do that, then +++ will be
appropriate.

(In general, "C-h k" AND "C-h f" are useful to see if there's any
documentation in any manual for a key or a function.  There's no such
command for variables, unfortunately.)
