Mod rewrite uses % rather than $ for variable names.
It does use $1, $2.. for back references. Which is not a problem as it is
not followed by a {.
It also uses the dollar for the end of string match. Which thus is thus
very unlikely to be followed by a { too.
But... It also uses the $ for ${mapname:key|default} constructs - which
may cause an issue now. We can make sure that such is ignored; or amend
the patch to allow a '\' or extra $ to escape either the $ or the {.

Aye - this is all about giving a competent admin enough rope to hang
him/herself - while making sure that a normal user (who is not having any
${} constructs in his/her file is unaffected.).
