I think it is about time we get rid of the dollar sigil too; I
personally suggest something in plain ASCII like "kr" (Kroner):

krkr = 10; // 10 kroner!
kr{''} = "\0"; // Empty variable with nul value

We still have the collision with constant and function lookups, but we
all know how variable our currency is so nobody would bother
"prefixing" any of those with kr.


TL;DR, I need sleep :(
