Yah, John.
Just found it via Google.
I remembered seeing this somewhere a couple years back but never used it.
Very cool -- performance hit using this, or just a really useful function?
From what I understand it suffers the same "hit" as double quotes,
since PHP has to parse it looking for variables. But it's not really
"special", it's just not as well known.
