[Asterisk-Users] how to escape #

[Iain Stevenson]

I'll own up to a patch - bug report 110.  However, Mark peremptorily 
dismissed my suggestion putting forward a solution I find illogical.  I 
guess more people need to ask for this feature!

I think my original patch was a bit over-engineered.  The one below is 
simpler.
