We will have to answer questions about closures relation to 
identifier-like variables for next 10 years if #"abc" syntax is chosen 
and closures also use # syntax.

What is wrong with Scala approach of using backticks? Looks reasonable 
and won't be confused with possible closures. It is a pain to enter on 
certain keyboard settings, but it is going to be needed only in 
exceptional cases.

With best regards,
