We've discussed this many times before.  The advantage of F# is that
it looks more like the printed music than ^F.  The disadvantage is
that there isn't a corresponding character for natural.  And the ascii
# character is pretty close to a typeset sharp, but the ascii lower
case b isn't really, although it's better than anything we have for
natural.

So unless we're going to add to the standard that it accepts a text
notation for natural (e.g. the TeX \natural), I think we should at
least allow =f, ^f, and _f as an option.
