I'm trying to use a DLL generated by ikvmc from a jar file compiled from Scala code (yeah my day is THAT great). The Scala compiler seems to generate identifiers containing dollar signs for operator overloads, and IKVM uses those in the generated DLL (I can see it in Reflector). The problem is, dollar signs are illegal in C# code, and so I can't reference those methods.
Any way to work around this problem?

The dollar sign $ is a valid identifier character in the Microsoft C++ compiler (MSVC).
Dollar signs in identifiersDollar ( $ ) signs are permitted in identifiers.
The Canadian dollar (symbol: $; code: CAD; French: dollar canadien) is the currency of Canada. It is abbreviated with the dollar sign $, there is no standard disambiguating form, but the abbreviation Can$ is often suggested by notable style guides for distinction from other dollar-denominated currencies.
Rules for naming variables: The convention is to always use a letter of the alphabet. The dollar sign and the underscore are discouraged. After the first initial letter, variable names may also contain letters and the digits 0 to 9. No spaces or special characters are allowed.
You should be able to access the funky methods using reflection. Not a nice solution, but at least it should work. Depending on the structure of the API in the DLL it may be feasible to create a wrapper around the methods to localise the reflection code. Then from the rest of your code just call the nice wrapper.
The alternative would be to hack on the IL in the target DLL and change the identifiers. Or do some post-build IL-hacking on your own code.
