## Message

```
Allow dollar sign $ in identifiers in translate-c

In strictly conforming C, identifiers cannot container dollar signs.
However GCC and Clang allow them by default, so translate-c should
handle them. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Tokenization.html
I encountered this in the wild in windows.h

Fixes #7585

```
