For decades I've been putting this line in my aliases file:

, return ,

This allows me to use the identifier $, in my scripts, instead of the slightly more tedious $chr(44).
The problem is I have to either convince other people to add this alias, or change all my code around.

Maybe this can be added as a convenience feature?

Most of us similarly enjoy using the elegant $(|) instead of $chr(124).


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
