We could invent
qv/interpolate variables/
qd/interpolate digraphs/
qs/interpolate scalars/
qa/interpolate arrays/
qh/interpolate hashes/
qr/intepolate ->/
qx/replace with stdout of execution of string as command/
Then, define
qvd/same as qq interpolate variables and digraphs/
qvdsahr/interpolate everything/
One possible problem with this solution is that it potentially consumes quite
a few symbols that start with q. Maybe it should be:
q/interpolate variables/v
q/interpolate digraphs/d
q/interpolate scalars/s
q/interpolate arrays/a
q/interpolate hashes/h
q/intepolate ->/r
q/same as qq: interpolate variables and digraphs/vd
q/interpolate everything/adhrsv
In that case, qq// and qx// should be translated to
q/interpolate variables and digraphs/vd
q/replace with stdout of execution of string as command/x
by p52p6, I suppose.
