anaconda seems greatly in favor of (from a kickstart perspective) of

The more I think of it the less sure I am, as it helps a bunch of the
UI stuff to have them be different code paths, but we still have the
problem that there just aren't that many characters to use (assuming no
utf-8 ... which, just no). Discarding the really bad ones gives:
!#$%^~
...are probably the best six, and almost all of those seem bad (not even
100% on if any of them are valid in rpm names/versions). Almost all of
them suck to put on the command line too (and/or have problems in things
like mock install lines).
I know anaconda people suggested '^', but that does weird things
(unescaped) in my zsh (but seems fine in zsh -f).
How about something like:
@group
@^environment
@:environment
@@environment
...the later overloads ':' again, but maybe in a clear way. The '^'
doesn't look too bad to me with the @ (and doesn't need escaping here),
and '@' is kind of ok here, but is maybe confusing.
I don't have a stake - I'd suggest 'whatever you and anaconda can agree on.'
might I suggest:
☠
or maybe
☬
