It can certainly be downgraded. Except that q:meta would be an upgrade in terms of specialness, and besides, it's inside out from what you want, which is to quote a particular argument to a string interpolation, not the entire interpolation. It just wants to be a miscellaneous function hidden in the bowels of the core somewhere. Larry

The method could support : all kinds of escaping/encoding. The question is, escaped for what? quotemeta() is rather Unix-centric in a conservative sort of way. Maybe we're just talking about an option to .as(). Larry
