> This is probably the same root cause as #355 (lost #s).
> I was happy to find the #literal() directive in the user guide, because I intend to output SH script from Velocity, which could otherwise get messy. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, $s are being gobbled.
> Consider this VTL fragment:
> #literal()
> export $VAR=$(echo $testme)
> #end
> Run through evaluate, this spits out
> export $VAR=(echo $testme)
> which isn't very literal (and is a compilation fault in SH). Even more odd, 
> #literal()
> export $VAR=\$(echo $testme)
> #end
> outputs
> export $VAR=\(echo $testme)
> Did some further testing on it, and if the $ isn't followed by alpha, it gets gobbled, but only inside a literal block.
