I'm sort of torn on this issue. On the one hand (#) has great potential as
an operator, on the other hand I've found that having something like
-XMagicHash (or TeX's \makeatletter and \makeatother) can be really helpful

them accidentally.
Haskell officially supports unicode in identifiers, right? Why not
pick some obscure and little-used symbol and leave the ones that are
conveniently placed on standard keyboards for normal use?
That's doable, and no less portable than -XMagicHash already is.
I suggest U+2621.
I'm not sure I'd've ever recognized a funny 'z' as "caution sign"... :)
