But the language could still support variable evaluation within strings
without requiring the '$' to always appear in front of a variable name.

So, a '$' within a string would mean "treat the following identifier as a
variable to be evaluated".  I believe that this introduces no
inconsistencies & removes the ugly $s that litter PHP programs.
