The $ is problematic because it is implemented with syntactic font
locking which makes it hard to specify exceptions for stuff like
verbatim regions.  At least I don't know a way to do that.  One could
probably switch to font locking with keywords for the dollar sign, but I
don't know how bad the performance hit would be for that.
