I don't see how adding # variables would give you anything but a shortcut. I don't think it would give you anything that you can't do currently with Pd. Do you have any examples?
[metro] is already a shortcut for [delay]-[t a a]-[spigot] triangle... why does [metro] exist? because it's a nice shortcut.
however i don't advocate using the "#" character for that, for obvious reasons... though i don't know which one else would be picked instead.
If you want to call writing objects a shortcut, that's fine. But that's the basis of programming in Pd. Specifically, I mean that the # args are a shortcut to avoid patching something in Pd.
