Description
The proposal says:
JRI keywords MUST start with a "$" character. Context specifications MAY define their own "$"-prefixed keywords, however this is NOT RECOMMENDED as future specifications that extend JRI as discussed in {{extending}} will use that prefix.
I propose that the proposal extend to allow $$
as a safe prefix that will never be used by JRI.
For example, I may choose to define an object with "$ref":
, "$$ref-prod":
, "$$ref-qa":
, in source to allow specifying alternates URIs , where preprocessing tools on the source can hot-swap $ref
and $$ref-prod
or $$ref-qa
alternatives within a build/deploy pipeline. This could be used where static template or other token substitution does not work well.
Context specifications MAY safely use the
"$$"
prefix sequence for context keywords. Future JRI keywords MUST NOT start with the"$$"
prefix sequence.
(Given that, the proposal could tighten this and say that Context specifications MAY NOT define their own "$"-prefixed keyword unless they use the "$$"
prefix.)
