I'm not advocating any change here because I'm perfectly happy with what we have now, but isn't the problem there that # means too many things? If a comment started with a # (because this is perl), and other things had some other sigil, would anyone be arguing about which filehandle they are on? Again, I'm not saying that anyone should do any work to change this, but after reading the links Schwern provided and checking the wiki, it seems that people talk about the format of the diagnostic but not the thing to signal it.
