Hello Damien,
Concatenating characters with #, would not be shocking me.
Maybe i'am short minded, but i do not see what else would be the meaning 
of Character>>#,
Of course, you would have String>>#, implementation complexified, and 
semantic of #, not exactly the super one, but then what?

Doing so, String cr,tab and co would become quite needless.

This could eventually be generalized to any immediate collection 
(ByteArray, WordArray, FloatArray and co).

However, generalization to any object and any collection (pointer form) 
would be ambiguous, since we can have collection of collection...

I already saw #, used for creating 3D Points (VW Jun), or to concatenate 
numbers into vectors (Jeffrey Hallman's Smallpack), and i used it myself 
once for similar purposes (constructing matrices with , for column 
concatenation and ,, for row concatenations).

Problem of such extensions is that they are likely to collide if you 
want to load several packages in one image... Not recommanded

However, I do not see yet a good readon to not try that for Character.
