Yeah. '<->' is a bit cumbersome. Too bad '#' means something else.
One thing that isnt clear to me. Is this change just for scripts (everyone
keeps talking about scripts)? Is it intended that '<>' still means numeric
glob in interactive mode?

You bet. And for managing mh directories. However all these are things I do
in interactive mode. Having to use '<->' in a script is fine.
