I don't see that it's all that consistent, since braces only delimit
variables' symbols when they follow a $ etc.
Anyway, one can always write:
${\"ClassName"}->frob(stuff)
Although this gets icky in dq strings, since this:
"This ${\"ClassName"}->frob(stuff) here"
isn't good enough currently.
I wonder whether the "I want to expand arbitrary expressions within
strings even when there aren't any $ or @ symbols about" people
just need better familiarity with the alternatives.
