If this is going to be discussed at the X3j13 meeting, we should have
a new version with all of the various additions to current practice

pierson says:
KCL uses #"..."
Absolutely true. However I don't approve of it for several reasons:
#P is more prevalent
Issue: PRETTY-PRINT-INTERFACE puts #"..." to a better use. This
is relevant for those of us who will use Water's pretty printer
whether or not the issue passes.
#"..." is just too good a "name" to be reserved for pathname syntax.
