Why blacklist it?
I understand when it is defined to return the correct value, yet
surely by the number of messages the list sees about this would
indicate there is a problem with "#" from a user perspective. Now you
could say that it merely being undefined is fine, yet the Lua language
IIRC has a primary target audience of none developers.
