Bug description:  preg functions interpret { as part of variable interpolation

The following code does not work properly

$number = "999.00";
$precision = 2;
echo preg_replace("/\.0{$precision}/", "", $number);

it echos 999.00

But if you escape the first `{' bracket, the regular expression works properly

echo preg_replace("/\.0\{$precision}/", "", $number);

it echos 999
