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.
