If it were widely enough implemented, that would be an argument in its
favor.

However, I agree with your dislike for it.  It doesn't follow the
precedent set by genblk.  The use of the unusual "$$" may be an
attempt to avoid collisions with user-defined names, in which case
it might fail if someone used that name.  The genblk naming provides
a mechanism for guaranteed collision avoidance.  Perhaps these names
do the same, but then why use the "$$" in the names?
