get value for the key "$" fails

assume this json

{"$":123, "$a":456}

the following expression works fine:

$['$a']

however this expression returns the whole json:

$['$']

when it should return 123

(e.g.,$ to match a property literally named $)

you have to use backtick to escape $, like so:

$.`$
