[L2Ork-dev] $0 weirdness

Hey Albert,

Hope all is well. The reason for this change is because a label that is
only the pound sign by itself in the vanilla version it gets dubiously
converted into a dollar sign. This makes it impossible to use that
character in a label. In the fix that the new version has this is now
possible without affecting the use of dynamic variables like $0. If you can
think of a better way to do this while retaining the backwards
compatibility I am all for it.

Best,
