I don't see how the lookahead issue has anything to do with the choice
of the symbol. Here, also with the context would fully disambiguate
between other uses so I do not think there is any issue with using this
syntax.  '$' is much more problematic as people use it in identifiers,
'@' may cause confusion with objective C.
