    OK,<br>
    <br>
    To get a better idea what I am doing here, is # only used at the
    beginning of a string (e.g. #0-something or #1), or can it be used
    anywhere (e.g. boo-#0 or blah#2boo)? Also, should it be escaped only
    if it is followed by a number? (e.g. #0 should be escaped, whereas #
    or #abc should not). <br>
    <br>
    If you can provide some clarification what are traditional uses of
    this, perhaps I can put in some filtering to figure out how we can
    hopefully address both scenarios.<br>
    <br>
    Finally, why do we even have #0 when one can simply write $0?<br>

    Best,<br>

            <div>I thought about that, too. Yes, that would be a viable

              Also, it would be nice to have a script to convert from
              and to the new patch format. This would also be helpful to
              fix the affected abstractions distributed with Pd-L2Ork.<br>
