documentation
In API documentation, and sometimes even used in discussions here on Stack Overflow, I sometimes see the pound (#) character used instead of the dot (.) as the separator between the class name and the method name. For example:
Settings#maxPageSize
I'm wondering what this usage means, and where it comes from?
