Hash signs ("#") in the label of a GUI object are replaced by a dollar sign ("$"). That is, giving a slider a label like "silder#" will result in a label "slider$" both in the GUI as in the saved patch file.
This is slightly different for float atoms: Here the patch file correctly saves the hash, but still displays a dollar in the patch.

both symbol- and numberbox behave inconsitently too: creating a label "$1_slider" (in the properties) will actually create a label "#1_slider" (and save it with the hash)
there is no way to use $args in symbol-/numberboxes (just like there is no way to use hash in iemgui-objects)
imho, it would be good if $args in labels would be expanded in both cases, and hashes would stay hashes.
