Hi Joey,
well, yes # could be used instead of TSFE:id, it is rather hidden 
feature as it has purpose to link to sections and IMHO usually links are 
using TSFE:id to refer to same page.
Anyway in typoLink() links with # are going through same checks as links 
to other pages that is not needed in this case and could be skipped.
