$ in identifiers -- poll

[Brandon Allbery the tame hacker on the North Coast]

How about this construct:

	extern sys_read() : "SYS$READ";

About the only possible clash is with bitfields, and this wouldn't be
useful where bitfield declarations are legal (i.e. inside structures).
It also wouldn't eat up the `entry' keyword.

    Who said you had to be (a) a poor programmer or (b) a security hazard
