Hi,
inspired by [a recent TeX.sx question][1] this allows delimited macros
with `#` in the parameter text by doubling the `#`.
It isn't needed that often but it is useful if you try to analyze the
parameter text of a TeX macro using TeX code. Also it is completely
backward-compatible (`##` always triggers an error without this) and
it is very easy to implement.
For example:
\def\test#1###2{(#1)[#2]}
\test hello#{world}
would result in (hello)[world]
Best regards,

hm, context mkiv already has the "named parameters"
eg
\def\doflushparallel#instance#status#line#label#content% called at lua end
{\begingroup
\def\currentparallelinstance{#instance}%
\def\currentparallelnumber {#status}%
\def\currentparallelline {#line}%
\def\currentparallellabel {#label}%
\def\currentparallelcontent {#content}% can be kep at the lua end .. no need to use a virtual file
\ifcase#status\relax
\expandafter\buff_parallel_flush_nop
\or
\expandafter\buff_parallel_flush_yes
\fi
\endgroup}
(see buff-par.mkvi )
Perhaps one can play with a named parameter as kind of separator.
