Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-5754:
----------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-5754.patch
Patch. This is more or less only a change in grammar + "ant regenerate".
I also added a simple test, which uses "$0" as the score binding.
> Allow "$" in expression variables

> The current expressions modules only allows ASCII letters, ASCII digits and
> the underscore in variable names.
> It is quite common to javascript developers to use also the dollar sign as
> identifier part (especially at the beginning of an identifier, see the famous
> "jQuery" $-function). This would allow bindings like "$score".
> The official ECMAScript spec allows the $:
> http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST-ARCH/ECMA-262,%203rd%20edition,%20December%201999.pdf
> (see section 7.6)
> The other stuff there like unicode escapes and all unicode letter crazyness
> should be excluded for simplicity.
> Adding the "$" is just a one-line change in the grammar and does not conflict
> with anything else, because "$" is not a special character to javascript.
