I like this idea. These bounce symbols always seemed kinda pointless to
me too (and I've seen some other Kconfig dialects that got rid of them).

Getting rid of those symbols also gets rid of the only case where
Kconfig would previously evaluate Kconfig symbols during parsing (for
'source "$ENV"'), so it makes the parsing/evaluation separation a bit
cleaner.


I wonder if we could just make the quotes mandatory though, and treat
$BAR simply as string interpolation, similar to the idea in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/17/175.

That would make the behavior clearer I think, and you wouldn't have to
do special parsing for symbols starting with $ (but see the note at the
end).

With the idea above, this would just be

def_bool "$ARCH" = "sh"

instead.

Decrease T_OPT_ALLNOCONFIG_Y to 3 as well? Looks like a bitmask to me
otherwise.

Another option if we want to allow $ENV outside of quotes (even though I
prefer mandatory quotes) would be to transform it early into "$ENV" by
returning a T_WORD_QUOTE token for it.

I think you could then get expand_string_value() to handle both the
quoted and unquoted cases.
