In the Jargon File, one name for '#' is 'splat', which is similiar to
'squish'. (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/ASCII.html)
So, #. is one possibility.  *. is another, notionally because an
asterisk may resemble a squished bug.  Or, change the name to BangDot
and use !. as the short form.
