Ah yes, good point. I thus withdraw my PHP comment, and we're
left with the examples in S02.
It could be said that closure interpolation would be off by
default, and enabled using the :c adverb or the C<qc> quoter
that is already part of the spec. Then we would have
"These { curlies } aren't interpolative."
qc "These { 'curl' ~ 'ies' } are."
I don't have a strong opinion one way or another -- I'm just
trying to point out some alternatives and things the current
spec already offers. But perhaps this is all a reminder as to
why I try to stay out of the language design forum.
