/sys/man/3/root says
The syntax `#/' is illegal, so this device can only be
accessed directly by the kernel.
however, #/ works perfectly.
The change is just to delete that paragraph.

Perfectly is perhaps an overstatement.
Try ls `{ls '#/'}.

Sigh. I meant ls `{ls -Q '#/'}.

I know. But the best way to avoid that would be, IMHO, to
rename it not to use /. We could just rename it to #F and then
it would work.

Perfectly is perhaps an overstatement.
Try ls `{ls '#/'}.

I used to use '#/.' successfully when '#/' by itself didn't work. Now
"ls '#/.'" and "ls '#/'" produce the same output, perhaps due to
cleanname. "ls '#/'*" definitely produces strange output, though.
