That would be a major change in how our configuration files are parsed,
breaking a documented (although not particularly clearly) convention
that's been there since the project began.   It's also inconsistent with
the convention for this configuration file format.

the escaped-hash thing works fine (and I've used it myself at times),
and just needs to be documented.

I'm not keen on that at all: -1
