I'm sort of torn on this issue. On the one hand (#) has great potential as an operator, on the other hand I've found that having something like -XMagicHash (or TeX's \makeatletter and \makeatother) can be really helpful when you want to expose some guts but also want to keep folks from using them accidentally.
Haskell officially supports unicode in identifiers, right? Why not pick some obscure and little-used symbol and leave the ones that are conveniently placed on standard keyboards for normal use? I suggest U+2621. - C.
