If you are going to make a special q form for sprintf strings, don't make it just skip hash interpolation. Make it treat [@$%] all as literals and only process backslashed thingies (including \qq of course). If you want to interpolate a $foo in an printf format, use %s. The idea of interpolating %foo{bar} but not %foo seems unnecessarily complicating.
