It would be great to sort that out, but there is a more fundamental
problem that I'd like to address.

The presence of the $(..$) syntax is undocumented and I would like to
create a tracker to capture that fact.

I have looked for a mention of it in the source for the parser, the
issue tracker and the commit history, all to no avail.

Can you please supply some information for this feature, which I believe
you introduced, so that it can be documented.

Cheers,
Colin.
