i thikn the problem might be related to a generally different handling
of DOLLARG (e.g. "$1") vs DOLLSYM ("$1-bla").
apart from that, i never understood the reason for "escaping" the $
(that is: putting a backslash before it); i think it was originally
meant to help the parser distinguis between real dollarg/dollsyms and
spurious dollars. (e.g. "bla$blu")
i would suggest to remove all backslashes where they are not necessary
(currently: everywhere)
