@meta annotation does not handle special characters

[hugeblank]

I'm trying to define a file that has a meta annotated path with a $ in it. It seems the plugin breaks on the $ and doesn't interpret anything after it, leading it to overlap with an existing meta path, and causing the language server confusion.

An example of an instance that breaks:

--- @meta net.minecraft.client.multiplayer.ClientLevel$ClientLevelData

And what it overlaps with:

--- @meta net.minecraft.client.multiplayer.ClientLevel

The result is the linter randomly choosing between the two files while writing a test lua file that interacts with the one without a $.

Why do we need to use $ in the path?

It's complicated... I've written a tool (Minecraft mod) that allows Lua scripts to load and use java classes, which can have weird paths like the one above. I've also created a tool that translates these classes into documented Lua stub files that represent the Java side. Java classes use roughly the same path system as Lua, with the exception that internal classes use the $ like seen above.

Regardless of that, (Lua) files can have names with $ or any other special character in them so I think it's reasonable to consider this use case.
