I hate being a "me too" poster, but the double-hash patch I have 
implemented four times now, and I know at least three other people 
who have also gone well out of their way to put that patch into their 
system.  Making this an "official" modification would be ideal, in my 
opinion, especially if it is selectable (default=single #, to retain 
previously expected functionality.)
