[PD] dollar argument

[Thomas Ouellet Fredericks]

There is also the overlooked very powerful [dollarg] from iemlib that
converts all your arguments into a list. I even made an abstraction
that can parse arguments by name like in Jitter. For example, [dollars
@currency canadian @exchange_rate 1.87 @output km] could also be
written [dollars @output km @exchange_rate 1.87 @currency canadian]

Anyway, dollarg rocks.
