I'm trying to move from bash to zsh.
I found a problem.  My 'expect' scripts require a '$' sign to let me know
its done.

In zsh the %# will display % when user's effective id is not 0.
But, I require another similar function which display '$' instead of '%'.

Could you consider to add this function to help bash users' life easier?

I already change my PS1="\\$"
But its function is not equal to %#.
