A strange naming convention. It has a whiff of Visual Basic Type
Characters about it,
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/data-types/type-characters.
Any chance there is a connection there?
Variables ending in '$' date back to at least the early days of BASIC -
long before the spectre of Microsoft loomed large, let alone 'Visual Basic'!
