OK, if you think it should be kept for backward compatibility, then go
ahead and keep it, but I see little value in adding it to identifiers
unless it is part of an Oracle-compatibility module or at least an
Oracle-compatibility #define.

How many user-defined $ operators do you think are out there?  I doubt
very many.  I would be surprised to find even one.
