It might be interesting to know what keywords have been set.

I'd be surprised if this turns out to be a bug in the library, but
replacing '$' with '$: ' sure doesn't look right, does it? Maybe some
custom keyword declaration going haywire?

Even if (for some strange reason) an executable had e.g. the Id keyword,
the replacement should work fine. It might corrupt the file format
(hence the warning), but the replacement should work.
