Apart from the point discussed about how making them part of the basic character set would interact with other rules involving that character set, the basic source character set consists of those characters that have some specified role in the C syntax. There is no specified role for $ @ ` in the C syntax - they can only be used in string or character literals (modulo the question of whether $ should still be allowed as an implementation-defined character in identifiers, see N3046) and have no special role to play there. -- Joseph S.
