v$instance changed a lot. Otherwise Jared is right about #, which was mostly appended to (number) columns named 'TYPE' (became a reserved word in 8.x, thanks to the $£ùàç?%* object option) (in sys.obj$, sys.user$ most notably, possibly sys.seg$ too - perhaps sys.con$ or sys.cdef$ as well, can't remember).
To answer the original question more precisely, there is a
O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY init.ora parameter (in 8 and 8i at least), but I am still unclear about its exact meaning and purpose.
