The examples from the FM seem to generally use &-symbols when available,
and $-symbols when not.  $VERSION for example isn't a system-provided
symbol, although I assign it from &SYSR1.

On a rather tangential rant, I am annoyed with people who gratuitously
stuff $$$ all over in volsers, dsnames, and anything else they get their
hands on, evidently just because they think $$$ are so sexy.  Inside USS,
these become extremely annoying in trying to figure out the required
escapage.
