Ugly hack: you could dynamically patch the following to get $1-$2:

[2(
|
[adddollsym 1-$$1(
|
[ (

You have to dynamically patch because saving [$1-$$1( will give you 
[$1-$\$1( the next time you load the patch.

I guess "adddollsym" was designed at a time when you could only put the 
dollarsign variable at the front of a dollsym.
