We considered that case and decided to ask users to use a
nested variable reference for that case.  There is a similar
workaround in "Modules/Platform/WindowsPaths.cmake".

One reason is that adding more characters to the allowed set,
especially as a special case for $ENV{}, triggers extra tests
and branches inside a tight loop that is used everywhere.
