Escaping of the # character in user guide?

I posted this yesterday in the velocity-users list and get no response.
There following situation needs to be mentioned in the users docs since
it is not very apparent to new users:

<html>

#macro (m)
    In macro \#m <br>
#end

#macro(m1 $arg)
    In macro \#m1 with argument $arg <br>
#end

  <body>
    #m1("This will error out, #m")
    #m1("This will also error out, \#m")

    #set ($poundSign = "\#") ## This will error out
    #set ($poundChar = "#")
    #m1("This is ok, ${poundChar}m")
  </body>

</html>

What do you all think?
