Well, I'm only 70% ignorant about figured bass, but I honestly have no 
idea in which situation one would use this signature, nor what its 
meaning should be.

The common figures like

\version "2.23.11"

\new FiguredBass {
  \figuremode {
    <7 _+> <7 _-> <7 _!>
  }
}

all look great with Werner's changes.

Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that the notation the user wants 
to use shouldn't be supported, but there's a chance that it might not be 
such a great idea to use it in the first place.
