Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The name for this column in the reference file contains a number sign (#) which may be a nuisance in downstream code/analyses.
I see no reason to write this special character in the output.
Describe the solution you'd like
Column headers in the output should not contain special characters.
@deepchocolate, shall we decide on a common name, like CHR? It's what we have in our cleansumstats repository.
Edit: Would also update the script/README files to suggest writing --output-file directly. Piping to gzip will include warnings etc. in the written file which is certainly not wanted.
