This is the sort of thing I am talking about. In the past we would
write things like
print 'this is a constant string:' . this_is_a_sub_call() .
". Here is the\\n\n";
Now we will write
print "this is a constant string: $(this_is_a_sub_call()).",
" Here is the\\n\n";
or even (when using the &sub_call method)
print "this is a constant string: &this_is_a_sub_call.",
" Here is the\\n\n";
We don't need the '.' operator as much anymore because we have more ways
of embedding stuff directly into the strings.
