I thought Lua was meant to be about providing mechanisms, not dictating 
behaviour?

By all means, prepend a $ to your new tokens, but don't force it on 
other people who don't want it. Personally, I was hoping it might be 
possible to use the token filter to add functionality/remove brokenness 
from the Lua interpreter that usually has to be done with C hacking. 
Having a flag bearer walk slowly in front of every custom token would 
definitely eliminate that ability.
