$-based substitution is very common. Like most languages, Python uses
() for calling functions, it uses keywords like "while" and "if", etc.
It's okay to use the normal form; tweaking some detail off the norm
because it seems slightly more compact or concise seems questionable to
me. Using {} instead of $/${} doesn't seem like a big win.
