Another interesting thing abut psql that I noticed when using '$' in 
identifiers is this effect:


andrew=# create table ab$cd$ef (ef$cd$ab text);
CREATE TABLE
andrew=# \d ab$cd$ef
Did not find any relation named "ab$cd$ef".
andrew=# \d ab\$cd\$ef  Table "public.ab$cd$ef" Column  | Type | Modifiers
----------+------+-----------ef$cd$ab | text |


which is perhaps slightly less than intuitive.

cheers
