Proposal Link: 
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0144-allow-single-dollar-sign-as-valid-identifier.md

The review of "SE-0144: Allow Single Dollar Sign as a Valid Identifier" ran 
from October 14...18. The proposal has been *rejected*.

The majority of the feedback on this proposal was opposed to it, because it 
makes the Swift language complex for a single library.  While it is unfortunate 
that this library is out in the wild and that there are some users, it was 
never intended for a single dollar sign to be allowed as an identifier, and it 
was also never documented as such.  The core team believes that Swift 3 
compatibility mode will be able to cleanly handle compatibility issues implied 
by not accepting this proposal.

Thank you to Ankur Patel for raising this proposal: it was important to get 
proper community discussion and feedback on this topic.
