Even if this feature were to be included (I'm kinda on Chris' side anyway),
it ought to use a different control character than '$'. I can think of
plenty of times when one would want the first character of a text node to be
a dollar sign. This is a good reason why the '%' is such a good control
character... who starts off a piece of text with that character?
And besides, if you want to decouple it from Rails, wouldn't "= load" or "=
require" work just as well?
