Shouldn't $! be 'no job' and $* perhaps something more like 'I rule galactic empires for a living, what do you do?'

And could there not be a C! for 'I have never poluted my body with such a substance' or C? 'Caffine... caffine... I don't think I have any of that around right now. Come back in a few hours and I'll see if I can lab some up for you.' or C* 'My people have evolved the ability to metabolize caffine. I require no other form of sustanace.'

Well, there's no reason why you can't make up your own notation. Justt because C* doesn't exist on the chart, that doesn't mean people won't understand it if you write it.
