Well, $ means end of line, and if the string being tested
is a single line (as every single file name I have encountered
so far is), the end of the string is the end of a line, by
any reasonable definition. So while of course you have to
be aware that $ can match somewhere in the middle of a
multiline string, I completely disagree that one should
not use use $ under such circumstances - it is such a nice
and compact way to write things (too many backslashes
in Emacs regular expressions anyway...).
Anyway, as you point out, they do ask for this in the
documentation, so I'll play along.
