Does this require any changes to the demangler?  Note that the demangler
currently has a special case for this:

  /* A Java mangled name may have a trailing '$' if it is a C++
     keyword.  This '$' is not included in the length count.  We just
     ignore the '$'.  */
  if ((di->options & DMGL_JAVA) != 0
      && d_peek_char (di) == '$')
    d_advance (di, 1);
