Description
I've been using a kind of peculiar workflow where I just @eval inside a main() function to have a Revise-like script workflow. Unfortunately this means I can't use $ inside that @eval block. Would be nice to have an alternative syntax to $, since $ is so widely used everywhere else for escaping.

Research direction
Start by tracing the current $ escaping behavior and how @eval blocks inside main() are processed. Define an alternative syntax that works in this workflow without removing existing behavior, then add coverage for the new syntax and its interaction with @eval.
