> could you explain why you think this is special? Perhaps because it is _always_ part of the namespace, where this discussion is specifically about restricting the namespace? Of course, that is how I read it, Roman will need to qualify my view.
++L PS: I also find #X a touch special, but there is really no need to feel that it is an intruder :-) It helps when you point out that it is just a "macro" for something that cannot be accessed by any legitimate name _before_ a namespace is constructed.
