new()$Symbol creates a variable that starts with "%".
Unfortunately, that is less than any "usual" variable starting with a
letter of the english alphabet.

Is there a simple way to create a symbol that is bigger (in the sense of
<$Symbol than anything from starting with the regular expression
[a-zA-Z]?

Thank you
Ralf

Yep, "~" seems to be good enough for me.
