Support for the special $crate identifier

[x-hgg-x]

In my custom-format crate, I pass the special $crate identifier from a declarative macro to a procedural macro, which allows me to avoid using a crate such as proc-macro-crate. This identifier cannot be created with the Ident::new method, so the procedural macro cannot be tested with real inputs using the proc_macro2 crate.

Is it acceptable to extend this crate to allow constructing the $crate identifier via

proc_macro2::Ident::new("$crate", Span::call_site())

instead of panicking ?
