One clarification: I'm only asking about the characters that make up the

macro name inside the $() or ${} which gets replaced in a substitution,
not about the characters that make up the macro value itself. I only need
to know if you use substitutions of the form

P:Q=<something>

or

y#2=<something>

i.e. the special characters are to the left of the equals sign rather than
to the right. I suspect this is pretty rare, because most people won't
have realized that they are currently allowed to use such characters in a
macro name.
Thanks,
- Andrew
