It's actually used in default configuration:
$ grep -e '^[[:space:]]*[^#[:space:]].*#' /etc/apache2/*/*
/etc/apache2/mods-available/autoindex.conf:	IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# RCS CVS *,v *,t
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/autoindex.conf:	IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# RCS CVS *,v *,t


Would checking only in DirectoryIndex for a local-url starting by # make sense?
Should that bug be tagged wontfix? Or retitled as suggested?
The original request doesn't make much sense, as it would always generate false
positives.
