That's right; it's just not typical except on HPPA, where it involves
some symbols we actually care about (millicode routines, I think?).
Many C compilers allow dollars in the middle of symbols; they don't
allow them at the start, but the underlying assembler generally does.
ELF doesn't care at all, of course.
