The dollar character looks strange. What syntax is that?
I agree that it is strange. I mentioned it (and its strangeness) in the
cover-letter. The documentation of org-sbe describes it as well.
+#+name: identity

+ x

+ (eval '(org-sbe identity (x $ "a\"b\"c")))))))
Why `eval'? Why not simply (org-sbe identity (x ...)) ?
Ah, I guess that's another "funny" thing about org-sbe that I forgot to
mention. It is a macro, but it does some things that are rather
non-macro-y. In this case, eval is required, otherwise it will attempt
to parse the Org document during Lisp *compilation*, and you will see:
Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Reference ‘identity’ not found in
this buffer")
