Comment (by rhaas):
If we keep the variables directly in the flesh I would keep the '$' prefix. This makes it possible to use variables in strings as well (in particular [hint hint] if we also support ${varname} or $(varname) the way the shell or make do), eg as out_dir = "$var-output" or out_file = "${var}iable.asc".
