Agreed.  I was worried about dollar arguments in functions, e.g. $1:

    test=> select $$$1$$;
     ?column?
    ----------
     $1
    (1 row)

but that seems to be OK.  Is our only problem actual $$ in a function
body?  And there is no way of escaping that, right?  They have to choose
a different quote characters sequence.
