    One of the pulse_control_specparam alternatives starts with this:

    PATHPULSE$specify_input_terminal_descriptor$specify_output_terminal_descriptor

    But, these two terminal descriptors can be simple identifiers which also allow "$". No spaces are allowed between the "$"s above, right? Should these terminal descriptors only allow simple identifiers that don't have "$"?

    Who came up with this crazy syntax?
