I repeat a previous comment:  as far as I can tell, there is no rule saying
that a strictly-conforming program can't use $ in this context, provided
that it disappears (or hides inside a string or whatever) before the end
of preprocessing.  I do believe that appearance of such a character in a
context where it isn't being ignored *ought* to make a program non-strictly-
conforming, but I cannot find anything in the Oct draft that *says* this.
