I think that needs explaining a bit more. To me, % is used when
specifying the entire range of the file on the vim command line, and #
prints lines with their res

No,
In vim's:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled May 30 2006 13:06:19)
VIM - Vi IMproved 6.4 (2005 Oct 15, compiled May 23 2006 12:03:57)

it wouldn't work for me unless I did that.
