One implication would concern implicit types, AFAICS. gfc_namespace.default_type[GFC_LETTERS] is currently limiting implicit types to a..z Should -fdollar-ok be made to allow for a '$' even in the first position of a name (including implicit types for types with a name starting with '$') or are we better off to extend the documentation to explicitely note that '$' as the _first_ char in a name is not supported in this extension? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27698
