escape mechanism issue for multiple dollar signs in a single symbol

[porres]

If I do [symbol \$0-x-\$1], it works, but both need to be escaped. If I try to escape just one of them, the escaping mechanism disappears for the other one. Like, if I escape just "$0", it gets ignored. I don't remember now why I needed this, but I did need it and had to do something else instead.

here's a patch that illustrates the problem:

#N canvas 100 100 450 300 12;
#X obj 226 124 print foo\$0;
#X obj 226 149 print foo\\\$0;
#X obj 226 174 print foo-\$0-\$0;
#X obj 226 199 print foo-\\\$0-\\\$0;
#X obj 226 224 print foo-\\\$0-\$0;
#X obj 226 249 print foo-\$0-\\\$0;
#X msg 100 48 bang;
#X obj 100 12 inlet;
#X obj 100 73 t a a a a a a;
#X connect 6 0 8 0;
