I really do not find it reasonable to change the dollar sign to something else. If we could switch the dollar sign notation in variables on and off with a directive in php.ini, that would break backwards compatibility between apps not only in a single user environments but also in shared hosting envs. Imagine having to switch into dollar sign notation for a phpbb installation and to a notation without the dollar sign for a custom application. It's just crazy!
