OK, if you think it should be kept for backward compatibility, then go
ahead and keep it, but I see little value in adding it to identifiers
unless it is part of an Oracle-compatibility module or at least an
Oracle-compatibility #define.
How many user-defined $ operators do you think are out there? I doubt
very many. I would be surprised to find even one.
