well, i distinguishing # and $ for messages / objects would increase
the expressive power of the language pd, since two different language
features are expressed differently ...

reusing keywords for different features makes a language lot easier to
read / understand ... just compare with the different semantic of the
keyword 'static' in c++ ...
