As a bit of a tangent, occasionally I wish that we could use - in
identifiers instead of _. I'd rather type $some-long-name than
$some_long_name if only to not touch the shift key :-)
As I recall, we're allowed to put absolutely any characters we want
in an identifier if it is a delimited identifier rather than a
bareword identifier.
That said, it isn't yet clear to me what the general rules for
delimited identifiers are as contrasted with literal strings, and in
particular, whether any leading sigil is supposed to go inside or
outside of the delimiters.
