Wasn't there an actual thread to respond to for this? I always feel odd
turning the summary into a thread on what it's summarizing.

That's fine as far as it goes, but how do you say what, in Perl 5, I
would use this for:
"${foo}n"
I like the ${} syntax, but I'm a shell guy from my early days... long
before I touched Perl. If ${} is going to go away, then it seems like
the best route is one of:
* The pythonish "%sn" % ($foo) sprintf operator, something other
than % though. Might even be -> with appropriate layers of sugar
* "$($file)n"
* "$file\bn" \b is word-break in regexp, so it makes sense to me
here mnemonically. Could even have "$\b$money\bM is a lot" which
would force the lone $ to be literal in the same way as
"\$$money\bM is a lot" would. Kinda fun.
