Since that form (#string) refers to anchors, it seems pretty confusing 
in this context as applied to the possible of a given page text variable 
($:State).  It would also be pretty limited, when what you are talking 
about sounds like it would be better served with an explicit concept 
like "between CA and TX, or more generally, concepts like greater than 
and less than: CA>TX, or CA>=TX, which could also be extended to <=CA, 
or >TX.
