I don't think it's an elegant solution. Partially because it is hard to make a regexp that parses that syntax... (Emacs highligting is regexp-driven, is it not?) But then again, regexps are evil, so I guess I don't really care... :)

While I agree that regexp are less usable than commonly attributed, I still thinks that #x...x where x is a special character is a rather elegant solution.
