If you have an example which results in an actual error at parse time,
I'd like to get it.
I have a collection of parser test cases and I spent time yesterday
capturing/creating parser test cases for these '#' variants. I didn't
come up with anything that generated an actual parse error - or render
problem - only the warnings above.
I did come up with a case with isolated #s ahead of a bare 'declare'
which did NOT generate the warnings above (I found a parser bug) though
the render result was still fine.

Unsure if you were agreeing we should be getting such warnings, or
saying POV-Ray does generate such a warning. If the latter, I never saw
that while trying different things. If warnings for #Primitive_Name do
sometimes happen, I'd like an example test case for my collection.
Also had the thought last night, Does say '#accuracy 0.001' work..? It
does.
Aside: I've converted to vim/gvim for my editor. Still working to get
back up to speed, but, vim itself ships with syntax highlighting and
indenting for POV-Ray v3.7(1) and, interestingly, it specifically
supports the '#<zero or as many spaces as you want>local' type syntax
for the language control elements (and #default{} and not default{} if
wondering - matching our current documentation).

(1) - There are some issues with it as others have noted. I might have
go at my own v3.8 version adding error indications for bad # use along
with v3.8 plus experimental feature support.
