allow dollar sign as another variant of ^[ (discard all arguments or return)
* some classic TECOs have this * just like ^[, dollar works as a command only, not as a string terminator * it improves the readability of macros using printable characters only * it closes a gap in the language by allowing $$ (double-dollar) and ^[$ as printable ways to write the return from macro command. ^[^[ was not and is not possible. * since command line termination is a regular interactive return-command in SciTECO, double-dollar will also terminate the command line now. This will be allowed unless it turns out to be a cause of trouble. * The handling of unterminated commands has been cleaned up by introducing State::end_of_macro(). Most commands (and thus states) except the start state cannot be valid at the end of a macro since this indicates an unterminated/incomplete command. All lookahead-commands (currently only ^[) will end implicitly at the end of a macro and so will need a way to perform their action. The virtual method allows these actions to be defined with the rest of the state's implementation.
