Hello, I didn't initiate this suggestion, but I am passing it along because it is really good, imo. Furthermore, I've complained about the #"" syntax and, well, I still complain about it :-)
Artur Biesiadowski, in the Coin Dev mailing list, made the suggestion to replace the #"" notation with backticks [1]. I think his suggestion was great for at least four reasons: 1) Closures might use pound symbol 2) Method literals might use pound symbol 3) JavaDoc already uses pound symbol 4) Backticks are commonly supported by several RDMS to represent exotic identifiers (like table names with spaces). Is the pound symbol really the choice favorite by the participants in this list? John and Remi, unless your heart is set on it, can you consider a change with regards to all the other language changes now going to happen?
