The $-prefixes would really become scope indicators. $0-hello would access the local table $0 using the t_symbol "hello". This would *not* create a t_symbol "1000-hello" anymore.
A "local" symbol-table would belong to an abstraction instance (and so, in OOP vocabulary, would rather be called instance symbol-table, or object symbol-table). It would be destroyed whenever the abstraction instance is destroyed.
so what would [s globalsymbol] do upon receiving $0-hello?
