Make dollar sign expansion escapeable

Qlik's dollar sign expansion happens in all kind of places. Sometimes, data that you load may include something like $( and then things may break.

An easy way to escape dollar sign expansion would solve lots of use cases, most of which currently only have nasty workarounds.
