I wasn't, just some number of iterations of interpolation, but "infinite"
iterations of interpolation is an interesting idea, and could be added as a special
case... Such would make it hard to "escape" '$' and '@' characters to have them
appear in the final string.  Unless we define that the "escaped" character's
"escaping" is "cast iron" that it lasts through all the interpolation passes except
the last.

In any case, a now-obvious early exit optimization for N iterations of
interpolation would be if there is nothing left to interpolate.
