No, that is creating a second named parameter in order to be more
ambiguous later:

And here is the question? What did I mean?

I was actually meaning feed at the rate defined by the parameter oo,
but how is the parser to know that is what I wanted rather than there
being a missing S (for example) in G1 Sfoo Z100 (not a totally random
case, my machine has a very reluctant S key, I very often type M31000
in MDI)

I think we should keep the # for all variables. It is what humans
reading G-code expect to see.

A linked point is that we seem to be discussing mainly human-generated
G-code, whereas a large proportion of G-code executed by EMC2 machines
is machine-generated. As well as discussing machine-parsing we also
might need to consider machine-generation.

The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong.
