Description:
------------
The template system needs "\\\$" to print out "\$" instead of "\\$" as needed by phps echo.
Furthermore, this is only the case with $. Other backslashified characters will output just fine: "\." outputs as "\.", no need for double or tripple backslashes.

This bit me while making and editor for regular expressions... \$ in the ruleset was always transformed to $ and the perl code evaluating the regexps died.

This happens with HTML-Template-IT version 1.10.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$template->setVariable( 'test1', "\$" );
$template->setVariable( 'test2', "\\$" );
$template->setVariable( 'test3', "\\\$" );
$template->setVariable( 'test4', "\." );

Expected result:
----------------
test1 -> $
test2 -> \$
test3 -> \\$
test4 -> .

Actual result:
--------------
test1 -> $
test2 -> $
test3 -> \$
test4 -> \.
