Hash-Bang rather than a pure Hash? I missed whatever discussion may
have occurred, so please ignore if that's already been rejected.

The present tool now supports Markdown syntax but also supports the previous
present markup syntax. The switch to enable Markdown syntax use is that the
first line (the talk title) be preceded with a `# `. Unfortunately, this
coincides with the use of `# ` as a comment mark in the old syntax. In some
cases, slides may contain copyright notices (I use present for lecture
presentations and have done for some years now, so we require copyright
notices). This puts the slide syntax into Markdown mode, which subsequently
breaks because of the mutually unintelligible syntaxes.
It would be nice if there were a way to prevent present from assuming a `# `
prefix is a note to `present` to use Markdown. Or at the very least a more
prominant warning that old slide have a significant risk of being broken
(I'm actually happy we now have Markdown, but this will result in a fair bit
of work for me to fix in my lecture presentations).
