Resolution
===========
We've decided to deprecate the '$' character from qrexec-related usage.
Instead, to denote special tokens, we will use the '@' character,
which we believe is less likely to be interpreted in a special way
by the relevant software.
Maybe a bit late to the party but I would like to suggest that instead
of using another character, you can transform something you don't
control (special characters) into something you can (normal characters).
For example, by simple encoding (after sanitation) $adminVM to text
string 2461646D696E564D (hex values of corresponding ascii character)
and only decoding it when appropriate (and you control this), you avoid
interpretation of special characters outside of where it is meaningful
while still keeping forward compatibility.
