The "Package Formulas" grammar in the manual says that valid characters for version numbers are `<identchar> | "+" | "." | "~"`. Notably this does not include the "#" character. This change updates the example of a comparing a letter to a non-letter character to use a non-letter character that may appear in a version number.
