> :-)  OK, the fontification of identifiers with $ is now working.  By
> default they are fontified as normal identifiers (i.e. with
> font-lock-type-face, font-lock-variable-name-face, or
> font-lock-function-name-face), but if the (new) customisable option
> c-warn-ids-with-dollar is set to non-nil, font-lock-warning-face is used
> instead.  The above applies only to C, C++, and Objective C Modes, and to
> any derived modes which enable the mechanism.

Thanks!
