[A-A-P-develop] Use of $var in Python code - Not!

After some more thinking and discussions, John Williams claims he can
make "var" work like "_no.var" in Python code.  This is a much cleaner
solution, the Python code can be real Python code.  Who knows, perhaps
some day Python will use the "$" character itself.

Therefore, I have backed out the support for $var in Python code.  This
avoids that people really start using it.

John is currently working on the new implementation, hopefully we can
start testing it soon.


I tried checking in the new version, but the CVS server appears to be
refusing connections.  I'll do it asap.
