[PD] $ expansion

[CK]

I read:
> I'm puzzled because I only get the first dollar expanded while the second
> is considered as literal. For example I get things like

from m_atom.c: 

> /* convert an atom into a string, in the reverse sense of binbuf_text (q.v.)
> * special attention is paid to symbols containing the special characters
> * ';', ',', '$', and '\'; these are quoted with a preceding '\', except that
> * the '$' only gets quoted at the beginning of the string.
