I'm not sure if it's according to or violating the standard.
But most other databases allow a '$' inside of identifiers.
Well, most of them recommend not to use it, but hey guy's,
what's a recommendation for a programmer?
In order to lower porting issues, I think it'd be nice to add
that to PostgreSQL as well. It's two more characters in
scan.l and doesn't break the regression test.
Objections?
Jan
