Like $arg, $var, $type, but I also see different

What's an example of such a thing?
'locate typemap' on my system came up with this file, which had some
pretty rich examples:
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ExtUtils/typemap
I scanned through xsubpp, but
didn't see any more '$' things other than those three.
Theres $ntype. See <http://world.std.com/~swmcd/steven/perl/pm/xs/
tools/index.html>.
Looks like $Package might be another, though I haven't used it myself.
I have been somewhat tempted to
autogenerate my typemap file, but I only have nine pointer-to-object
types, so I don't mind the duplication all that much.
One of my distros has over 100 that follow the same pattern, so I
autogenerate mine.
