# By logic we should handle '$' here. But
# PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation needs to process it to see if it is
# a sigil. If it is not, that module is expected to make it into an
# assertion. This is to try to keep the order in which the tokenizers
# are called non-critical, and try to keep all processing for a
# character in one place. Except for the back slash, which gets in
# everywhere.
