I'll go along with Erik that the #-space should not be restricted.
Not because I disagree that it would lead to a cleaner implementation,
but because there is too much reliance on it being the way it is.
Perhaps the next iteration of Plan 9 can have the cleaner approach and
"cd #|" can be deprecated.

That said, roll on any good suggestions on where fundamentals need to
be revised.  There is no harm in regular spring cleaning.  Specially
if nothing is lost in the process.
