I didn't know you could use $ in macros. Does the C preprocessor accept any other special characters?

It's actually a GNU C extension to the set of legal identifier characters.

Unfortunately XCode's definition of word characters doesn't include $, so cmd-double-click on an identifier like $dict doesn't work. Anyone know a fix?
