Really? The idea of LP actually says (at least to me) that chunkname 
should be considered like a \section command, so it should have a very 
meaningful name. And

<<*>>=
<<chunk1>>
<<chunk2>>
<<chunk3>>
@

(or the LaTeX-syntax equivalent)
should read like a table of contents. If you allow any character 
(including % and $) to lose their usual TeX meaning then you forbid

\begin{chunk}{The first 10% of implementation of $a^2+b^2=c^2$}
...
\end{chunk}

to print nicely. (I could have escaped %, of course.)
Anyway, retaining TeX meaning of the characters is probably the better 
way to go.
