Count me in as an author who supports variables being IDENTs prefixed with $
at assignment and reference.

Not only does it prevent collisions with future (or current) keywords, but
it is nice that variables prefixed with $ would jump out and scream "I'm a
variable!" when scanning a stylesheet. This would be especially useful when
working on a stylesheet or group of stylesheets written by someone else
(say, a coworker).
