What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

Confidence takes a json object with special purpose $-prefixed keys as input, using joi to validate it. I'm moving confidence store schema to joi v16 from v15. New implementation of methods such as object.with and object.without don't support $-prefixed keys or peers.

const schema = Joi.object().keys({
    $b: Joi.string(),
    $c: Joi.string()
}).without('$c', '$b');

What was the result you got?

Schema throws an error

Error: Non-value references cannot reference ancestors

What result did you expect?

handle $-prefixed keys
