If you're looking for a "How do I use $foo in my imcc code?" then I
have one of two answers:

1) You don't, doofus. Go fetch it out of the symbol table by name, with

    var1 = global [foo; bar] "$foo:

or

   var1 = local "$foo"

2) .alias is your friend!

  .alias some_nice_symbol global [foo;bar] "$foo"
  .alias some_other_symbol local "$bar"

Either way, I don't think IMCC should have to deal with language
symbols explicitly.
