@julian honestly the whole model of hashtags is pretty broken when you try to represent it as an entity rather than as a string literal. i have this issue with both the Mention and Hashtag "types", in that they are incoherent. "do they start with a symbol or not" is undefined. "should i attempt to strip the symbol if encountered" is likewise undefined. in most cases you should be referring to actual entities (Person, Object, etc), and also you should handle microsyntax separately.
