Last I checked (a few months back admittedly) Horde coding standards were 
silent on disallowing '#' but I learned by convention not to use them.  I'm 
surprised that your editors have trouble with them; all the editors I've used 
(Quanta+ [which is based on Kate] and vim) never had any trouble.  Since '#' 
is valid PHP for commenting, wouldn't the editors that break on them be 
considered a bug?  Or are '#' deprecated somehow?  I'd be interested in 
hearing the reason they are not used.
