See, in my mind, you are telling cfdump the variable it needs to throw on the screen. I guess it kind of makes sense to me that you're wanting CF to evaluate #foo#, but it still confuses me. I wish they had made a rule for ALL quoted attributes (to do it either one way or the other), and if you need an exception (like cfdump var="foo") you can escape it somehow. I know the other programming languages I've used treat quoted strings that way. However, if Adobe were to change it now, it would break a LOT of people's code, so I think we're stuck with it.
