# in non-first columns to mean noexport of the column has the
disadvantage of possible confusion with # in the first column where it
means special effect for recalculation when using the spreadsheet. As
I understand your first paragraph you want to avoid such confusion.

/ in non-first columns to mean noexport of the column as I did before
has the disadvantage of possible confusion with / in the first column
where it means noexport of the row.

% or ; used for comments in LaTeX or Emacs Lisp I would find a good
space saving single character alternative. Why not % as this would not
be the first time that Org borrowed some syntax elements from LaTeX?
The glyph has also similarities to / that has a similar meaning.

And just to mention if someone wants to start: The non-greediness I
did before is not necessary and could be omitted for better
readability:
old: "^[ \t]*| +/ +|\\(.*?|\\)?? +\\(/\\) +|"
new: "^[ \t]*| +/ +|\\(.*|\\)? +\\(%\\) +|"

And a change note.

Let me see. If anyone wants to beat me please go ahead.
