That didn't parse at all for me - when talking about hashes in the
kernel, we basically never talk about the hash _character_ ('#'), and
your pull request message just made me go all "Whaa?"

Next time, can we agree to talk about either 'hash character' or just say '#'?

Just to avoid the confusion with all the normal hashing we do in the kernel.
