Otherwise arguments extend to nothing, but what is "nothing", depends on where you used the $dollar-variables.
See attached patch dollar.pd. When used standalone, it prints
symbol: symbol symbol-message: The symbol is float: 0 float-message: The float is 0
and when used as an abstraction with arguments (with-dollar.pd), it prints:
symbol: symbol hi symbol-message: The symbol is hi float: 2 float-message: The float is 2
