The question is:
Whats the legal state of $ character in identifiers?

But it's interesting that around 1970, identifiers in IBM 360
Assembler were allowed to include @ # and $ (that's commercial-
at, hash, and dollar) along with letters and non-leading digits.
So the original question was actually quite a reasonable one.

Assembly code is another language (or one of many).  C is written
according to the C standard (or should be).

You don't think he knew that you self opinionated fool? And yet you harp
on about Pascal? You find it unreasonable that someones knowledge of
another language might influence their thoughts on C?

Sigh.
It'd be nice if you could wrap identifiers in a cartouche. Then you
could use any characters you like.
