The use of pound signs (or hashes, or whatever you like to call them) is
only required when you want to output the value of a variable or an
expression to a string, and in my opinion should only be used in that
specific case. If you're using them for something else, it's unnecessary and
may confuse developers who understand what exactly pound signs do in CF.
