Personally, I'm -1 on this. Still, if you're already changing the syntax,
you don't need the extra punctuation ( '$' in your examples). This could
work just as well without them:

int count = 0
bool def check(string testValue):
    return testValue.lower() == "true"

AFAIK, since today all these cases generate syntax errors, they are pretty
unambiguous.
