maybe somewhere near man:syntax, man:Declarations, man:Assignment_statement?
is in release notes?
When declaring or initializing multiple constants or variables you will often want to rearrange or add or delete one or more already coded constants or variables. Using the '$' dollar sign as an end of list makes this editing operation more convenient.
enum
wire = 1,
window,
wicker,
$
The end of list '$' (and comments) also work inside braces:
sequence
frames = {
"wireframe", -- first
"windowframe", -- second
$
}

Severity of Major means extensive work arounds in your program has to be done to work around this problem. Thus, $ not being documented is not Major in it's Severity Level. It's Textual. Changed to reflect it's real severity.

Documentation has been added to the first explanation of how a Sequence is created, which is in the "Atoms and Sequences" section of the manual, man:lang_def#atomsandsequences.
A new manual has been uploaded.
