Re: [community-group] Token name - reserved words (#61)

Does anyone have _objections_ to going down the prefix route?

If not, I think we should press ahead and update the spec draft accordingly.

All that remains is to choose a prefix. I don't have a strong preference myself.

As @TravisSpomer  noted, `$`  is similar to what [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/learn/getting-started-step-by-step) uses for some of its keywords. That may or may not be a reason for our format to use the same character.

[JSON-LD](https://json-ld.org/) on the other hand uses `@` as a prefix for "special" things, so that might be another alternative to consider.

And then there's the `_` as @ilikescience has proposed.

How about we do a vote? React with the emoji that corresponds to your preferred prefix:

| **Prefix** | **Emoji** |
|-----------|-----------|
| `$` (dollar sign) | 😄 |
| `@` (at sign) | ❤️ |
| `_` (underscore) | 🚀 |
| Other - suggest in a comment | 👎 |
