In ruby there are several special literal notations, just like python.
In ruby it goes like this:
%{blah} / %Q{blah} # same as "blah" but igornes " and '
%q{blah} # same as 'blah' but no interpolation
%w{blah blah} # same as "blah blah".split
%r{blah} # same as /blah/
%x{ls} # same as `ls`
Sometimes they are very useful, and sometimes they are cumbersome. It's
up to the programmer to implement them effectively.
