.editorconfig file_header_template: can't use # (or ;) symbol #44596

Description

@vsfeedback

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.


It doesn't seem to be possible to use a # symbol in file_header_template, without it being parsed as a comment (escaping using \ doesn't appear to work).

This is annoying when trying to include the text C#.

This is very much about Visual Studio. `file_header_template` was proposed [here](https://github.com//issues/33012) and implemented [here](https://github.com//pull/41982). .editorconfig is documented [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/create-portable-custom-editor-options?view=vs-2019).

Cyrus told me to open an issue here rather than in dotnet/roslyn.
