What's wrong with extending current syntax such that:

$a = "Hello";
print q(@{[$a]} World), "\n";

outputs

Hello World

instead of

@{[$a]} World

yes, it's a few extra char's but IMHO
        it's a logical extension
        it makes you think twice before doing it, do you really need to do this, or is 
there a smarter way?
