This will affect anywhere a dollar sign shows up in a record (though only for
display). For instance, the following MARC:

245 1 4 ‡a The $5 million dollar question

will show up as follows in the new interface:

245 1 4 $a The {dollar}5 million dollar question

This is indeed the same solution as MarcEdit. Yes, it is indeed a hack, but
most other discussed solutions make entering subfields harder in order to make
the relatively uncommon sequence <dollar sign><alphanumeric><space> easier to
enter.

I18N could indeed be an issue, though I'm not sure we should translate an
escape sequence.
