They are covered by \nfss at catcodes.

Example test file that works for pdftex.map:

\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\pdfmap at catcodes}{%
  \nfss at catcodes
  \catcode`\ =10 %
  \catcode`\^^I=10 %
  \@makeother\+%
  \@makeother\=%
  \@makeother\_% 
}

% helper macros for test
\def\RestoreCatcodes{}
\count@=0 %
\loop
  \edef\RestoreCatcodes{%
    \RestoreCatcodes
    \catcode\the\count@=\the\catcode\count@\relax
  }%
\ifnum\count@<255 %  
  \advance\count@ 1 %
\repeat

\def\RangeCatcodeInvalid#1#2{%
  \count@=#1\relax
  \loop
    \catcode\count@=15 %
  \ifnum\count@<#2\relax
    \advance\count@ 1 %
  \repeat
}
\expandafter\ifx\csname LoadCommand\endcsname\relax
  \def\LoadCommand{\input ltxcmds.sty\relax}%
\fi
\def\Test{%
  \RangeCatcodeInvalid{0}{47}% 
  \RangeCatcodeInvalid{58}{64}%
  \RangeCatcodeInvalid{91}{96}%  
  \RangeCatcodeInvalid{123}{255}%
  \LoadCommand
  \RestoreCatcodes
}

% do the test by reading pdftex.map;                          
% put pdftex.map in a location where it can be found
% as TeX input file (e.g.current directory).
\RequirePackage{catchfile}
\def\LoadCommand{%
  \CatchFileDef\TestMap{pdftex.map}{\pdfmap at catcodes}%
}
\Test
\csname @@end\endcsname\end

But other characters could also be added, e.g., &, $, ?, !, ...
