The request, mainly, is for imcc to handle sigil characters from other languages which basically equates to exposing a lot to imcc from the high-level language.

If you're looking for a "How do I use $foo in my imcc code?" then I have one of two answers:


1) You don't, doofus. Go fetch it out of the symbol table by name, with

var1 = global [foo; bar] "$foo:

or

var1 = local "$foo"

2) .alias is your friend!

 .alias some_nice_symbol global [foo;bar] "$foo"
 .alias some_other_symbol local "$bar"

Either way, I don't think IMCC should have to deal with language symbols explicitly.
