Your point is of course valid, but I'm not aware of any systems that
habitually use the number sign as a path component (which should not
be taken as proof that such systems do not exist, of course), whereas
in AFS, the @ sign appears everywhere because of the "magic" @sys
component.
I doubt it would be possible to use the null character as the separator
in sed, but if so, I seem to recall that it cannot appear in file names...
