As commented elsewhere, for the sake of us ENGLISH speakers, *PLEASE* 
make that $(hash). A pound sign is £.

Ouch!

In the English (as opposed to American) speaking world this will be very 
confusing! The pound sign is £ not #.


If this is not dictated by some sort of upstream PLEASE can we make it 
$(hash) not $(pound)
