[SH]: prepending $ to register names

At the moment: "No".

I would be prepared to accept a variant of that patch whereby requiring 
a "$" register prefix was controlled by a GAS command line switch, 
(which defaults to off).  That way the current behaviour can be 
preserved, but the more useful behaviour (of requiring the prefix) can 
be enabled if the user so desires.
