the avps and the script vars. All the others are in fact hidden function
calls and should be syntactically different.

We should use $ only for variables (like any other script language out
there). This doesn't mean avps though. The avps should be accessed in
some other distinct way. avps are both slow and they consume memory, so
their use as script vars should be discouraged.

I would use '$' only for fast script vars (that should be declared at
the beginning of the script and would be typed), and some function like
construct for the other (e.g.  $var=sel("from.uri")).
