How to use dollar sign '$' in raw (multiline) Kotlin strings?

Question

Is there a concise way to escape $ character in a raw Kotlin string?

In a simple string we use "\$".
In a raw string there is obviuous but superabundant way """${"$"}""" that does not work good when the string contains lot of $, i.e. in MongoDB query or some kind of third-party library template.

for mongo operators you can define constants to avoid this problem, smth like that

object MongoOperators {
    const val eq = "\$eq"
    const val ne = "\$ne"
    const val and = "\$and"
}

val findFilter = """
        {
            $and: [
               "foo": { $eq : 1},
               "bar": { $ne : 2}
            ]
        }
    """.trimIndent()
