Oh.
Well, if you can change the #\$ to a different character, say #\^, then you can
use ^[\begin{equation*}] instead, to avoid clashes.

It's an option that allows you to change the character that it uses to start a
raw string, and yes the order does matter.
You have to put the base language before the character, and since it takes a
module language as a base, not a #lang language, you can't for instance do
`#lang raw-string at-exp racket #\$`, but you can do `#lang at-exp raw-string
racket #\$`, because at-exp is more flexible than raw-string.
It might be possible to make raw-string accept an arbitrary #lang language, but
I don't know how.
