If you're trying to prevent accidental name collisions you could use
"." -- the assembler accepts that in labels.

If you insist on "$" being labels then you're out of luck.  It's
already used for immediate operands.  A special version of the
assembler would be ugly.  Consider "$name", what does it refer to?
